Overview
This unlacquered brass single hole basin tap is a small, vintage-style pillar tap: a turned bell base with fine rings, a short curved spout with a flattened outlet, and one four-arm cross handle with rounded tips on top.
Each tap controls one water supply, so most bathrooms use a pair, one for hot and one for cold, set on either side of the basin. A single tap works well on a cloakroom hand basin with one supply. About 4 inches tall with a 5 inch reach, it suits small and medium basins. The heavy brass is polished and unlacquered, so it gains a soft patina with use.

Care and patina
Wipe the tap with a soft damp cloth and dry it after use. Unlacquered 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 it fit my sink or vanity?
Each tap needs its own deck hole of about 0.9 inches. It stands about 4 inches tall and reaches about 5 inches, so the outlet should sit over your basin.
Is it hot and cold?
One tap supplies one line. Choose the 2 tap bundle for a hot and cold pair.
Does it work with US plumbing?
The listing states the hoses and connections included are made for US plumbing. Ask your plumber to confirm, or contact us.

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

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.
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.
