A Hand-Hammered 31" Double 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. Its two equal bowls let you soak on one side and rinse on the other.
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 31" x 20" x 9", with two equal bowls inside. 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.
Do I need two drains?
Yes. Each bowl has its own 3.5" drain opening, so you'll need a drain for each one, or a disposal flange on one side.
