Overview
This unlacquered brass wall mount cold water tap is a simple two-piece set: a round tube spout on a flat round flange that curves down to an aerator, and beside it a single four-arm cross handle with rounded ball tips on its own flange. Behind the wall, the handle valve and the spout join through a short brass valve body.
It brings cold water to a powder room basin, a utility or garden sink, or a bar corner where a mixer is not needed. Choose a simple cross, flat cross or lever handle. The polished brass is unlacquered and gains a warm patina in 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
Is it hot and cold or cold water only?
Cold water only. It has one handle and one supply.
Will it fit my sink?
It mounts in the wall, so the basin needs no tap hole. The spout is about 8 inches long with about a 4 inch drop to the outlet; set the height so the water lands inside your basin.
Does it work with US plumbing?
The listing states it is designed for 1/2 inch NPT and uses a standard 1/2 inch ceramic cartridge. Ask your plumber to confirm, or contact us.
See all our handmade brass faucets, 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.
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.
