Unlacquered Antique Brass Bathroom Mixer Tap | Handmade 3-Hole Basin Taps

This widespread basin tap is born from the metalworking traditions of Moroccan ateliers, where brass is shaped by hand and embellished using centuries-old inlay techniques. Each fixture begins as solid unlacquered brass—cast, machined, and finished without the synthetic coatings that obscure the metal's natural beauty.

The handles tell their own story. Fragments of bone and resin are individually set into the brass bodies by artisans who have inherited this decorative craft through generations. The resulting patterns carry the geometric precision of North African ornamental art, rendered in materials that age alongside the metal itself.

Unlike factory-sealed fixtures frozen in perpetual newness, this tap is designed to mature. The exposed brass surface responds to water, air, and touch, darkening gradually from polished gold into deep amber and bronze tones. This living patina transforms the fixture into something genuinely personal—a surface that records the passage of time rather than resisting it.

No two examples share identical inlay patterns or patina development. The variations are not imperfections but signatures of handwork, ensuring your fixture remains unrepeatable.

Product Features

Solid Unlacquered Brass Throughout : Cast and machined from premium-grade brass with no plating, no composite fillers, no shortcuts. The substantial weight and density distinguish genuine brass construction from hollow alternatives.

Hand-Set Bone & Resin Inlay Handles : Moroccan craftsmen individually position each bone and resin fragment, creating intricate geometric compositions rooted in traditional decorative arts. Natural material variations ensure every handle pair is visually distinct.

Ceramic Disc Valve Mechanism : Engineered for decades of drip-free performance, the precision ceramic cartridge delivers smooth quarter-turn operation while eliminating the maintenance cycle of older compression valves.

Intentional Living Finish : The uncoated brass surface oxidizes naturally, developing warmth and depth that factory-sealed finishes cannot achieve. Early tonal shifts settle into a distinguished patina that deepens the material's character over years of use.

Water-Conserving Aerator : Flow restriction maintains consistent pressure at 1.2 gallons per minute, meeting modern efficiency standards while preserving user experience. Reduced consumption without compromised performance.

Swiveling Gooseneck Spout : 360-degree rotation provides functional flexibility for widespread basin configurations, combining practical utility with the visual grace of traditional gooseneck architecture.

The Living Finish

The Living Finish: This faucet features a true unlacquered brass finish. Unlike mass-produced taps, it has no artificial coating. Over time, it will naturally darken and develop a rich, unique patina. This aging process is the hallmark of authentic brass. You can let it age naturally or polish it back to a high shine at any time.
