About Patina Finish of our Copper Sinks and Copper Bathtubs

Copper - A 'Living Finish'

Copper belongs to a family of metals that has what is known as a 'living finish'.  Left untreated, copper interacts with its environment and naturally deepens in tone over time.  As it deepens, it passes through a range of colors beginning with a pinkish, salmon-like color and progresses through a series of russet browns until it stabilizes to a final deep, rich tone.  The speed of change and the depth of its final color is totally unique to each individual piece of copper.   

An 'Aged' Look

Most of our copper sinks, bathtubs and accessories are completed with one of our five proprietary, patina finishes.  Application of the patina actually 'helps' copper along in its darkening process by accelerating then slowing (and in some instances, completely arresting), copper's natural progression in color. 

Patina finishes give our kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, vessel sinks, bath tubs and accessories a unique, antique-like or 'aged' appearance, even though our products are actually brand new. You'll be delighted at how they retain their gorgeous rich tone and actually become even more beautiful as they age.   

Patina Color Variations

Just as no two hand-crafted pieces ever turn out exactly alike, the same holds true for the patina finish. Because the actual piece of copper used in each piece 'takes' the patina finish differently, no two kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, vessel sinks, bath tubs or accessories ever turn out exactly alike.  When completed, each piece ends up with a patina that falls within a range of color tones from lighter to darker, within the same Patina category. 

Patina colorations are influenced by the material, the temperature (both climatic and of the piece itself), and by the Artist that mixes, applies and works with the patina.  It is the combination of these elements that ultimately dictates the product's final tone and guarantees you always receive an original item with a beauty and tone uniquely its own.

Caring for Your 'Obscura' Patina Copper Sink

You'll love the fact that kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, vessel sinks, bath tubs and accessories completed with a Dark Patina Finish require very little maintenance.  They will retain their beautiful color and condition for years on end with no effort on your part!
