Overview
These unlacquered brass deck mount pillar taps are a traditional pair for a farmhouse or scullery sink. Each tap rises as a slim round post from a flat deck flange, then turns forward at the top into a short bib tap body with a downward outlet and a ball tipped cross handle.
Set one on each side of the sink for separate hot and cold, or order a single tap for a utility or bar sink. Choose raw polished brass that ages into a warm patina, or a brushed finish with a soft matte look that hides fingerprints and water spots.

Care and patina
Wipe the taps with a soft damp cloth and dry them after use. Raw brass reacts with water and hands, so it darkens gradually and builds a warm patina where it is touched most. Use a brass polish whenever you want the bright finish back, and avoid harsh cleaners and abrasive pads. See our Care and Patina Guide.
Frequently asked questions
Will they fit my sink?
Each tap mounts through its own deck hole behind the sink. Contact us with your hole size and spacing, and we can share the tap height and reach before you order.
Is it hot and cold?
The pair is one hot tap and one cold tap, each with its own cross handle. A single tap supplies one line.
Does it work with US plumbing?

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.
