Metal sink

Metal sink

Brass is a wonderful material for oriental washbasins and sinks: it has excellent properties and a gentle sheen. The alloy consists of at least 50 percent copper and up to 40 percent zinc. Various other metals are used to make up the rest. The zinc content makes brass slightly harder than pure copper, but just as easy to work with.

In Morocco, people still prefer to use traditional brass basins for washing dishes. Just like a stainless steel sink, these are embedded in a countertop and the flat rim is flush with the top. Metal basins are generally enjoying growing popularity. It is indeed a sight to behold when an artistically hammered bowl rests in a slab of oak, granite, or slate in the bathroom. For hand washing or personal hygiene, modern wash bowls now complement the classic ceramic countertop sinks.

All brass washbasins are hand-forged in Morocco and feature either the typical net-like structure of hammer marks or a smooth surface. Many models are available in a warm gold/bronze tone or a cool silver sheen.
