A Hand-Hammered 30" Single Bowl Sink That's Anything but Cookie Cutter
The Thompson Villa is for people who really appreciate the craftsmanship of a hand-hammered sink. Each one is hammered by hand with seamless construction, so no two are exactly alike. Choose warm Antique Copper or Hammered Stainless Steel. It has a generous 27" x 17" bowl, 9" deep.
Clare's tip: The antique copper belongs in a rich, magical kitchen with a matching faucet and moody colors! It's meant to be the star of the show. I see the stainless steel sink in a bright and fresh space.
Antique Copper or Hammered Stainless Steel
The Antique Copper is hand-hammered from 14-gauge copper with a medium antique finish. It's a living finish, but because it starts out already antiqued, it changes only subtly over time. Shiny, orange polished copper is the kind that changes a lot. The Hammered Stainless Steel is 18-gauge and will not patina, so it stays bright and is easy to clean and maintain. Both have the same hand-hammered texture and the same shape and size.
Clare's tip: I personally prefer undermount for these special sinks. Then it's like peering into a jewel box! But they look stunning every way.
Caring for Your Villa Sink
Hand-hammered metal is easy to live with. Wash with mild soap and water and dry the sink after use. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scrub pads and steel wool. For a closer look at how Thompson's living finishes age, read our guide to how Thompson finishes patina over time.
Clare's tip: Like all things worth having, these sinks are worth the little bit of extra care it takes to keep them looking and performing their best.

Before You Buy
- The sink measures 30" x 20" x 9", with a 27" x 17" bowl. Because each sink is handmade, sizes can vary by up to 1/4", so wait until your sink arrives before cutting your countertop.
- Drains are sold separately. Thompson recommends oil-rubbed bronze drains with the Antique Copper and brushed nickel with the Stainless Steel.
- There are no faucet holes. Plan for a faucet mounted on the countertop or the wall.
- The Antique Copper is a living finish, so its color may deepen a little over time. That's normal.

Common Questions Answered
Can I install it undermount or drop-in?
Yes, either way. Undermount shows off the hammered bowl with nothing in the way; drop-in sits on top of the countertop.
Will the stainless steel change color like the copper?
No. The Hammered Stainless Steel will not patina. Only the Antique Copper has a living finish that changes over time.
Is there a bottom grid?
Yes. Thompson makes an antique copper bottom grid (BG2616-HA) for the Antique Copper Villa.
