Installation Guide
Always wait to receive the actual physical sink before making any permanent cutout measurements in your vanity top due to handmade craftsmanship variations.
Apply a bead of silicone sealant around the underside of the rolled lip to secure the drop-in basin firmly to the countertop.
Connect a standard 1.5-inch drain assembly, tightening hand-tight plus a quarter turn with a wrench to avoid over-tightening.
Wipe down the interior bowl periodically with mild soap and water, avoiding harsh chemical abrasives that can alter the natural patina.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Cleaning Wash the copper surface with mild soap and warm water using a soft cloth or sponge.
Drying Pat the basin dry with a soft towel after use to prevent water spots from settling during the initial patina development.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals Never use bleach, acid-based cleaners, or abrasive scouring pads, as these can strip away the natural antique finish.
Protect the Patina Do not use copper polish unless you want to remove the dark antique look and expose bright shiny copper metal underneath.
Prevent Standing Residue Rinse away toothpaste or soap residue thoroughly to keep the basin looking uniform and clean.
