Santa Clara Brass Smooth Interior ( HFS) Brass 16" round Drum bar sink with choice of drain opening and finish -DUO!
Product Description:
Handmade solid Brass Round Drum Bar/Kitchen Prep Sink 16" expertly crafted by Santa Clara Brass. The abbreviation (HFS) stands for Hand Forged Smooth, indicating the high quality of the finish. Each sink is handcrafted by our skilled artisans in our own shop located in Santa Clara del Cobre, a region renowned for its dedication to producing beautifully hammered and smooth Brass products. All of our brass sink finishes are considered living finishes, meaning they will age naturally over time, allowing for unique character development; they are non-lacquered but are meticulously sealed with a natural beeswax polish that is made in-house at our shop, ensuring a quality product.
Only the lip of the sink is carefully hammered, while the inside of the sink is polished to a smooth, even finish. There are minor flaws in the overall finish; previously, I produced completely smooth finishes, but many customers mistakenly believed they were machine-made rather than handcrafted. All sinks offered in my collection can be designed with smooth surfaces complemented by hammered lips. The lip is hammered due to the metal spinning process, which often creates areas of overlap that require careful hammering to achieve the desired aesthetic and structural integrity.
Care and Maintenance:
Shiny and matte finishes will naturally oxidize and tarnish, and the antique/ weathered brass finish can lighten over time with excessive use. You can use Barkeepers Friend and or a natural deoxidizer polishing paste like lemon juice and salt or in Mexico we use Valentina hot sauce (similar to Tasbasco hot sauce), to remove tarnish from a shiny sink. Most bronze and brass statues throughout Mexico are maintained by municipalities using hot sauce. A little paste wax and or beeswax polish will help maintain the finish longer.
Do not clean Antique / Weathered Brass with brass cleaners as they will lighten the finish. Mild soap and water is all that you need. 000 Steel Wool / or a green scour pad can be used to burnish tarnish off these finishes.
