Overview
A hammered brass floating shelf made for shampoo bottles, soap and small bathroom pieces. The 12 inch tray has a low raised rim and an all over pattern of small hammer marks, and it sits on a single pointed spade shaped backplate that is hammered to match and fixed to the wall with two screws.
The bright, polished unlacquered brass catches the light in every dimple. Use it in the shower, above a vanity or beside a bath. Over time the brass mellows into a softer, deeper gold.

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
How is it mounted?
The spade shaped backplate screws to the wall through two holes, and mounting hardware is included. For heavier bottles, fix it into a stud or use suitable wall anchors.
Which finishes are available?
Hammered as shown, Smooth or Engraved. Contact us if you would like to see the Smooth or Engraved version before ordering.
Can it go in the shower?
Yes. Solid brass does not rust, and the patina develops a little faster where it gets wet.
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
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.
