Our custom brass sinks undergo a burnishing process similar to our copper patina technique. After burnishing, the brass acquires a subtle greenish tint. Opting for our weathering/burnishing patina process ensures a fairly consistent tone throughout. If you choose to keep your brass untouched, expect a more diverse range of patterns and shades. Our choice of brass has a slightly elevated copper content, which we favor for its inviting warm hue.
Unlacquered, unburnished brass sinks require regular care to keep their ‘new brass’ look. Some clients prefer this finish, allowing it to develop a natural patina over time. Made from an alloy with 70% copper, our 14 gauge, cold rolled domestic brass will gradually age to a greenish hue, adding unique character and depth to its appearance.
A major factor behind our 26 years of perfect 5-star reviews is my transparent approach, setting clear expectations and guiding clients on proper sink care. Brass, much like copper, has unique characteristics; you can find more detailed usage and care information on our site. copper page.

This photo was taken by a former customer in 2020. She ordered the sink without burnishing and also chose a Waterstone faucet and soap dispenser in unlacquered brass. She followed up with the following email.
" I love this sink! My whole family loves this. It is a major kitchen and even life upgrade to have something like this. We live in a pretty old house and it used have a dinky, divided sink. As a frequent home cook, it used to be a constant source of irritation that none of my big pots or sheet pans would fit in the sink for cleaning. The design of the Rachiele workstation sink is fabulous. The the depth of the sink from top to bottom is perfect and ergonomic; not too shallow, and not too deep. I am a huge fan of the internal ledge, which enables me to chop my vegetables in my sink and move it directly to my compost without taking up additional counter space. I also have the dish drainer and will sometimes swap that in, when I'm watering house plants. This is a fantastic feature.
Lastly, I want to add that the aesthetic design of the sink plus the Waterstone faucet is perfect for us. We updated some kitchen hardware, and it was only after tons of searching did I find this gem of a sink in natural (unlaquered) brass. No other alternatives came close to looks or build quality. I am a huge fan of Rachiele! I have no complaints and only praise for their product design, build quality, and customer service."
Today, 7/22/24, we received another message: " We are moving. We loved our last custom Rachiele sink so much, we're coming back for another. This time our house is a farmhouse and already has a typical steel farmhouse sink that we want to replace. I continue to love brass and would like to get a cool, workhorse that is an essential element in my kitchen."

We are thrilled to share the design of our latest sink, created especially for our test kitchen. It's all about bringing people together, and we've named it Harmony™ because it allows two people to work side-by-side effortlessly. Whether you're both right-handed or one of you is left-handed, we've thought of everything to make sure it's a perfect fit.
For the decor, we've chosen a mix of domestic brass and stainless steel to give the kitchen a warm yet sleek look. The sink’s apron front shines in brass, protected by a sturdy clear coat, while the rest of the sink is made from our top-quality, hand-finished 316L surgical grade stainless steel. This sink features our Paragon™ dual-tier, tri-level workstation that's all about versatility and efficiency.
To complete the picture, we've paired the sink with two Waterstone 9750 suites, blending stainless steel and satin brass finishes for that perfect finishing touch. We've created a space that’s both functional and beautiful, where cooking together is a joy.

Our exclusive 14-gauge premium bronze alloy, made of 90% copper and 10% zinc, offers a warm, golden hue that stands apart from other bronze alloys, which often resemble brass. Unlike typical bronzes, our unique alloy is rarely found in large sheet form and is most often seen in high-end applications like railings and doorknobs in upscale hotels. While bronze and brass share similar care needs, our alloy’s distinctive composition ensures a refined look that ages gracefully in your home.
Burnished bronze offers a warm, deep golden tone and is easy to care for, similar to our copper sinks. As a 'living finish,' it will develop character over time. Simply rinse the sink after each use, avoid leaving food or cookware in it, and wash occasionally with mild soap like Dawn. This minimal maintenance keeps it looking beautiful without extra effort.

This custom bar sink is designed for versatility, featuring a removable divider for holding ice on one side while keeping the drain accessible. Custom multi-purpose grids add counter space or provide a drying spot for hand-washed glasses, while a butcher-grade cutting board seamlessly integrates, enhancing both function and convenience.
Our skilled team seamlessly joined the copper bowl to the bronze flanges at the upper edges of the front and back ledges. This integration ensures the bronze accent accessories fit perfectly. Crafted to serve as a drop-in sink, the harmonious blend of copper and bronze in this creation requires exceptional precision in both the welding and finishing processes, showcasing the high level of skill and attention to detail that our team brings to each project.

This design allows for more efficient water drainage and offers versatility in how the sink is used. It can be easily used by two users, even if one is right-handed and the other is left-handed. We would move the left side drain to the far left corner for the left handed user.
