Haven’t seen it yet, but it’s installed. No pic. My GC buddy has no idea where it came from or who made it. He said it was a “farm sink”. New.
The problem is getting the copper backsplash to match, sort of. Anybody have any idea how to turn copper red? Green and brown I know.

I'll have to look up my copy of Brownell's catalog, but they must have a website--I beleive they have chemicals that will color metal--steel, for sure and I think brass, but not sure about copper. Might try them though--they mostly supply gunsmiths with stuff. If you need more info, I can try to find my catalog--let me know.
They were new to me. Thanks. But it appears they think anything related to copper is a fouling problem to be removed. 23 products for that. LOL
A whole world there I know very little about. All I've been doing is sticking an oiled cloth down the bore every year or so.PAHS Designer/Builder- Bury it!
Sorry they couldn't help you. Maybe Greencu has some ideas? He knows a lot about copper.
I did a google on -copper red patina - and got a number of commercial and home made patinas.
have you tried some sandpaper then scotchbrite then polish then seal?-steve
