Custom Copper Sinks Made in the USA

 We exclusively use domestic 14-gauge cold-rolled copper, which is eight times stronger than the annealed copper found in imported sinks. This durability prevents denting during use and ensures the sink remains perfectly true to the dimensions specified in your design. You can trust your sink will arrive precisely as ordered, without deformation from shipping. 

Also... Pet friendly!

 What you see is our 22 year old copper sink.  Maintaining your copper sink’s beauty is easy—simply rinse after use and avoid leaving items in the basin. While items left in the sink may temporarily affect the patina, this natural patina is designed to evolve over time, telling a unique story through its subtle changes. The patina’s transformation adds character, enhancing the sink's distinct and beautiful look. 

 " I love your sinks because they are EASY to take care of (yes- I am lazy). I used to have a stainless steel sink in my kitchen and the smudge marks used to drive me crazy. I really don't do much to keep my sinks looking beautiful now- I simply rinse them out with soap and water while washing my dishes. Nothing else!!!!"  Jessie

"Paint" with ketchup and a paint brush, and the patina temporarily vanishes. The sink will re-patina over the next several days simply by using the sink. The speed in which the sink will re-patina has a bit to do with how much you use the sink and what type of water you have. The more minerals in the water, the faster it will change. You truly cannot permanently damage the interior of our copper sinks.  

 Our copper sinks are crafted to combine beauty with exceptional functionality. Each sink includes an option for a ledge designed to support a half-sheet pan, freeing up valuable counter space during meal prep. With this feature, your countertops may feel almost obsolete—just give them a quick dusting and let your sink handle the heavy lifting 

Even a deep, intentional cut vanishes in just a few weeks in the bowl of our copper sink. The middle photo is after two weeks, and the bottom photo is after 4 weeks. The cut is still in the copper. However, the "self healing" properties of the copper act as camouflage. You never have to worry!

I did this to a working sink in our showroom. Once the patina healed, I told visitors that if they could point to the deep cut, without feeling for the cut with their fingernail, they could have their sink for free!

 Copper is not only stunning but also highly functional in the kitchen. Thanks to its excellent heat conductivity, copper can speed up the thawing process—just place frozen food directly on the surface, and watch it defrost quickly. In comparison tests, ice melts in just 6 minutes on copper versus 46 minutes on stainless steel. Beyond heat conduction, copper boasts impressive antimicrobial properties, naturally reducing bacteria on its surface. This makes it an ideal choice for a hygienic, efficient, and beautiful kitchen workspace 

 At less than a year old, this imported copper sink has already lost its beauty due to its unnatural finish. Unlike naturally weathered copper, which develops a rich patina over time, these sinks often discolor permanently from water pooling, especially with flat bottoms. Copper naturally ages to a beautiful, old-penny color, but many imports require drying after each use to prevent unsightly blemishes. Our sinks are designed to avoid these issues, ensuring a durable, authentic patina that enhances their beauty with time 

  Hammering adds a captivating, artisanal beauty to each sink, creating a rich texture that catches and reflects light in unique ways. This hand-hammered finish brings out copper’s natural warmth, giving the sink a distinctive character that enhances any kitchen style. Each mark tells a story of skilled craftsmanship, adding depth and individuality to the sink’s appearance. For those who value both aesthetic and authenticity, the hand-hammered look offers a timeless elegance that transforms a functional piece into a true centerpiece. 

The aftermath... Being Italian, we eat salad last. We had guests help us load the dishwasher, and the sink was not rinsed and left over pieces of salad and vinegar were not rinsed away. Most of our customers would not find this objectionable, as the sink would have some gorgeous patterns in the patina the following day. I, on the other hand, occasionally remove most of the bottom patina, illustrating the ease of regenerating a more uniform patina. - See the comment below from Linda White.

I simply take the sponge you see in the photo with the ScotchBrite side down, and I scrub over the bottom of the sink using only warm water until most of the patina is gone. You will see some scratches initially, however, the following day they should be mostly invisible. I suggest that you remove the bottom patina ONLY. Do not remove the patina on the sides. The sides of the sink do not get enough activity to rapidly regenerate the patina. 

This is a video illustrating how simple it is to go over the bottom of one of our copper sinks with a ScotchBrite pad. It took me only 60 seconds in my 24" sink. 

 For new Rachiele copper sink owners, the first few months can feel challenging, as they often believe the sink requires delicate handling. However, as they begin to use it freely and see how resilient it truly is, they quickly gain confidence and start to appreciate the sink’s durability. This realization transforms their experience, allowing them to enjoy their sink without worry, embracing its functionality and beauty. See the use and care section of our website here.
