The details
Sizing, care, craft and delivery, answered in one place. Still deciding? Ask the workshop.
Overview
An aged brass floating shelf, 12 inches wide, made from a single flat sheet of solid brass with softly rounded front corners. The brushed, muted antique brass tone looks warm rather than shiny, and a narrow bracket hides underneath at the back, so from the front the shelf appears to float.
Use it in the shower for bottles and soap, or above a vanity or kitchen counter for everyday pieces. The brass is unlacquered, so the aged tone keeps developing slowly with use.

Care and patina
Wipe the shelf with a damp soft cloth and dry it, especially in the shower. Unlacquered brass keeps darkening slowly and water marks blend into the aged tone. Avoid harsh cleaners and abrasive pads, and skip polish if you want to keep the antique look. See our Care and Patina Guide.
Frequently asked questions
Can it go in the shower?
Yes. Solid brass will not rust, and the patina simply develops faster where it often gets wet.
How deep is the shelf?
The listing gives the 12 inch width and a front profile of about 1.3 inches but not the depth. Contact us and we will confirm it.
How is it mounted?
A narrow bracket screws to the wall and sits hidden under the back of the shelf. Mounting hardware is included.

Size and install guide
Choosing a size. Each size is listed in the selector above. Measure the inside width and depth of your cabinet or counter cutout, and leave a little room around the sink for a clean fit.
- Farmhouse sinks: check the base cabinet width and the front apron height before you order.
- Vessel sinks: check the faucet height against the rim. A taller faucet or wall mount works best.
- Bar and prep sinks: undermount and drop in installation are both possible.
Installing. Copper and brass are softer than steel, so use a plumber who is comfortable with them. Seal the rim with a neutral cure silicone and avoid harsh solvents on the finish.
Not sure it will fit? Send us your measurements and we will confirm before you order.
Craftsmanship
Every sink is shaped and hammered by hand in our workshop in Fes, Morocco, a city where coppersmiths have worked the metal for centuries. Small variations in the hammer marks are what make each piece one of a kind.
Materials and care
Solid copper or brass, with a natural finish that deepens with use. Rinse after use, dry with a soft cloth, and wash with mild soap. Avoid bleach and abrasive pads. Read the full care guide.
Shipping and returns
In stock sizes ship from our New Jersey warehouse. Bespoke sinks are made to order, and we confirm timing with you before production. See our shipping policy and refund policy.
Frequently asked questions
Will the color change over time?
Yes. Copper and brass develop a living patina. It deepens and warms with use, and you can slow or polish it back.
Can you make a custom size?
Yes. Bespoke sinks are made to order in Fes to your measurements. Contact us with your dimensions.
Is a drain included?
The drain details are in each product description. If you are unsure, ask us before ordering.
Where does it ship from?
Some sizes are ready to ship from our New Jersey warehouse. The rest are hand-hammered to order in Fes and ship after 2 to 4 weeks in the workshop. The delivery note beside Add to cart shows which applies to this sink.
