Details

A kitchen sink strainer in solid, unlacquered brass, polished to a bright, warm yellow: a wide, smooth round flange around a removable brass stopper basket with a ring of teardrop-shaped slots and a small round knob in the centre for lifting it out.

The basket catches food scraps while water drains and doubles as a stopper when you want to fill the basin. It fits standard 3-1/2 inch drain openings found on most US sinks, in a brass sink or a white fireclay one. Left unlacquered, the brass will soften to a natural patina with water and use.

Care and patina

Rinse and wipe dry after use to limit water spots. Unlacquered brass is a living metal: polish it with a brass polish to keep it bright, or let it mellow to a warm, soft patina over time. Avoid harsh cleaners and abrasive pads. See our Care and Patina Guide for the full routine.

Frequently asked questions

It fits standard 3-1/2 in drain openings, which most US kitchen sinks use. The flange is 4.5 in across. Contact us if you would like us to check your sink first.

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.
