Decorative Copper Apron Sinks Offer Old World Feel in Kitchen

24 September 2008

Farmhouse, or “apron” sinks, were once common throughout America and Europe and are again being seen in kitchens where folks want an old world feel. Whether you’re trying to capture that style to stay true to your historic house or you just appreciate the warmth of the kitchens of yesteryear, an apron sink can be a great fit.

While many materials can be used, copper is particularly warm and attractive.

These decorative copper apron sinks are handcrafted works of arts. Made by HP Austin, the all-welded basins are made from 16-gauge copper, and you can choose from numerous decorative fronts or have a design custom made to your tastes.

When the sink is done, a natural finish is applied, so the copper ages over time and through use until it develops a rich, unique color.
