Overview
A brushed brass floating shelf cut from one thin sheet of solid brass, with softly rounded front corners and a slim front edge. The satin brushed finish has a fine linear grain and a pale gold tone, and a narrow flat bracket sits hidden under the back, so the shelf seems to float off the wall.
Choose 12, 20 or 24 inches wide for a shower niche, above a vanity or along a kitchen backsplash. It holds bottles, soap and small everyday pieces. The brass is unlacquered, so the brushed surface will slowly warm and deepen with use.

Care and patina
Wipe with a soft damp cloth and dry it, especially in the shower. The brass is unlacquered, so it slowly darkens into a warm patina and water marks blend in over time. Use a brass polish if you want the bright look back, and avoid harsh cleaners and abrasive pads. See our Care and Patina Guide.
Frequently asked questions
Can it go in the shower?
Yes. Solid brass does not rust. In a wet area the patina simply develops a little faster.
How is it mounted?
A narrow flat bracket screws to the wall and sits under the back of the shelf, so it is barely visible from the front. Mounting hardware is included.
Does unlacquered brass change colour?
Yes. It slowly warms and darkens with use. Polish it to bring back the bright brushed tone, or leave it to age.
See all our brass bath accessories, and pair it with our handmade bathroom and vessel sinks.
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.

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

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.

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.
