The P'urhépecha people of the region were among the most advanced metalworkers of the pre-Hispanic world, and many of today's coppersmiths are their descendants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe traditional process is slow: the metal is heated, hammered, cooled and heated again, over and over, until the form is right. Each small dimple is the mark of a single hammer strike, which is why no two Thompson pieces are ever exactly alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Texture You Can Feel\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThompson's animal-print textures (Tortuga, Culebra and Cocodrilo) are hand-hammered into the metal rather than printed or stamped, taking their cue from nature and high fashion. Run your hand along the edge and you can feel every scale and ridge. It is a detail that turns a working sink into a talking point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the finish change color?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver time it develops a soft patina. You can enjoy that aged look or restore the shine whenever you like with a gentle cream and a coat of wax. Waxing regularly and drying after use slows the change; skipping the wax lets richer antique tones develop sooner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does it look uneven at first?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the first few weeks you may see water spots or darker areas around the drain. That is normal for a raw finish, and the patina usually evens itself out within about two to four weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a professional installer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThompson recommends that all of its sinks are installed by a licensed professional, following Thompson's installation guide (linked above). If your installer has questions about cutouts or support, we can get answers from Thompson for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy might my sink look a little different from the photos?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach piece is made by hand, so size, texture and color vary slightly from piece to piece and from the photos. Those small differences are the signature of handmade work, not a defect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; max-width: 500px;\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 50%; padding: 8px; text-align: left; border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eModel Number:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%; padding: 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eKPU-1715SB-TURTLE\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 50%; padding: 8px; text-align: left; border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eCollection:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%; padding: 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eRivera Tortuga\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 50%; padding: 8px; text-align: left; border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eFinish:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%; padding: 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eSatin Brass (Turtle)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 50%; padding: 8px; text-align: left; border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eOverall Dimensions:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%; padding: 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e17\" x 15\" x 8\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 50%; padding: 8px; text-align: left; border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eShape:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%; padding: 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eRectangular\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 50%; padding: 8px; text-align: left; border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eDrain Size:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%; padding: 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e3.5\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 50%; padding: 8px; text-align: left; border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%; padding: 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eHandcrafted\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 50%; padding: 8px; text-align: left;\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%; padding: 8px;\"\u003eThompson Traders\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thompson Traders","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67788495585507,"sku":"KPU-1715SB-TURTLE","price":3217.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0222\/5674\/6592\/files\/TORTUGA_BAR_PREP_TOP2.jpg?v=1792772682","url":"https:\/\/manorhousesinks.com\/products\/thompson-rivera-tortuga-17-satin-brass-turtle-texture-bar-prep-sink-kpu-1715sb-turtle","provider":"Manor House Sinks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
