Copper Fixtures

[FishScreener]

My sister wants a polished copper kitchen faucet with the pull down sprayer. Does anyone know of one, which had readily available repair parts?

I told her it will probably stain and discolor fairly fast, and she says she doesn’t care so long as she can make make it turn into the aged copper verdis gras.

I don’t know of any, and told her she might have to find a faucet she like the style of, and have it taken apart and plated.

You might find a high end faucet like that, I'm not sure, if you u tube cleaning copper fixtures you might find a way to keep clean again not sure just suggestions

just thinking out loud: no reputable mfr would make a copper finish in raw copper, hence they would use VPD which would not age to verdigris, ever.

She found two copper faucets but they were in a brushed finish. Her plan is to install copper back splashes, and artificially age them to the verdigris to begin with. So she has some kind of vision in her mind.

She is a bit eclectic, and can sometimes think way out of the box. Last year she was asking for plans for a Forest Service Fire Lookout Tower.

tell her that I will custom make a copper faucet for her
I am a plumber and I dabble in copper steam punk art

@frodo to really complete the Steampunk effect you need to add, say, analog temperature and pressure gauges to your faucet. Looks really well done!!

And the spout should have a gargoyle or other creature with the water coming out the mouth.

Only $14,000 in copper. I think @frodo could make a living out this hobby.
