This kitchen copper sink is a drop-in, without a border around it as most of our copper kitchen sinks do, which makes the copper bowl mostly the sink size: 18"x18"x9". A unique addition to your farm-house style bar sink. It has a standard 3.75" diameter drainage opening in a single compartment. The copper sheet is 14 gauge (0.064" thickness). This hammered kitchen copper sink is a beautiful piece of art finished in antique-looking copper color, from the pictures you can see the spots the copper makes when heated and cooled down.
From a copper sheet the wise artisan hands transform it into this unique piece. The hammer footprint is very visible, giving it its own character. The reddish/oxidated texture is characteristic of natural copper when it is cooled down from red-hot temperature using cold water. That specific characteristic is what makes it so beautiful. This copper sink was mostly raised with the artist hammer.
The techniques used by Santa Clara del Cobre craftsmen is the same one used for several centuries, where no sophisticated tools are used, just the furnace to heat the copper and a hammer to give it the shape. The finish is in a dark brownish color. Along your home decoration, this piece it will add a unique touch to your kitchen making it a very special point of attraction.
Keep it as dry as you can to preserve it longer with the current color textures, moisture will speed up copper oxidation.
