Unlacquered Brass Sinks – Where Elegance Meets Evolution

Discover the understated beauty of unlacquered, unburnished brass—a living finish that invites character to emerge over time. While this metal can be maintained for a radiant, just-polished look, many of our clients embrace its natural transformation, allowing the surface to develop a rich patina unique to their kitchen.

Crafted from a special alloy of 14-gauge, cold-rolled domestic brass with a high copper content, this material gracefully matures to a soft, greenish hue—adding depth, warmth, and authenticity to your space. No two will age alike. Each is a testament to daily use, to craftsmanship, and to timeless design.

Our custom brass sinks undergo an artisanal burnishing process inspired by our signature copper patina technique. This meticulous treatment imparts a subtle, elegant greenish undertone—evoking a sense of timeless character while ensuring a more consistent tone across the surface.

Clients who choose our weathered and burnished finish experience a refined, curated look, while those who prefer raw, untouched brass will enjoy a more organic range of evolving hues and natural variation over time.

We select brass with a slightly elevated copper content for a reason: it yields a richer, warmer glow that feels inviting, opulent, and unmistakably Rachiele®. Every detail is intentional. Every finish tells a story.

With over 26 years of patina expertise, we’ve refined the art of controlled aging—ensuring your sink develops beauty, not blotchiness.
As your sink is used and loved, the patina will mature gracefully—developing a depth and warmth that reflects your kitchen’s daily rhythm and character.

 Our exclusive 14-gauge premium bronze alloy,  offers a warm, golden hue that stands apart from other bronze alloys, which often resemble brass.

While bronze and brass share similar care needs, our alloy’s distinctive composition ensures a refined look that ages gracefully in your home.
