Bathroom showers first began gaining widespread acceptance in the 1890s, when ironworks giant J.L. Mott featured these "plumbing appliances" in its catalogs. Like those early showers, the $849 Victorian Thermostatic Shower with Hand Sprayer from Signature Hardware has the exposed main pipe and large 10"-diameter sunflower showerhead, which in the original models produced a spray that simulated rainfall. The accompanying hand sprayer has a porcelain handle and 60" spiral hose. For details, call (866) 855-2284, or visit www.signaturehardware.com.
