Processing time: 7 daysEstimated delivery: Nov 07 - Nov 11
Inspired by traditional European washroom fittings, this wall-mounted unlacquered brass faucet features a sculpted curved spout and classic cross handles. Designed to age gracefully, the living brass finish develops rich character over time, making it an exceptional choice for luxury bathrooms, powder rooms, and handcrafted vanity installations.
Features
Made from heavy solid brass, not plated zinc, with a living finish that develops a warm patina over time.
Two wall flanges and an exposed bridge body give a timeless European washroom look and make the valves easy to service.
Mounted on the wall, the faucet leaves your vanity top clear and is perfect for vessel sinks, wall-hung basins and console sinks.
Independent hot and cold cross handles for precise temperature control.
Every faucet ships with its rough-in valve connections so your plumber can set them in the wall before tiling.
Available in 8" or 10" reach so the water lands right over your drain.
Dimensions & drawings
Each faucet is finished by hand, so small variations are normal. Please confirm inlet spacing with us before the final rough-in.

Installation guide
Tools: level, tape measure, drill, adjustable wrench, thread-seal tape. We recommend a licensed plumber for the in-wall rough-in.
- Plan the position. Center the faucet on the sink drain. Set the centerline 6–8" above the sink rim (about 40–42" from the finished floor for a vessel sink). Pick the spout reach that matches the distance from the finished wall to the drain center.
- Add blocking. With the wall open, fit solid wood blocking between the studs at the centerline height to hold the rough-in valve firmly.
- Run the supply lines. Bring 1/2" hot (left) and cold (right) supply lines to the blocking. Follow local plumbing code.
- Install the rough-in valve. Screw the two drop-ear elbows to the blocking at ≈ 6" (150 mm) centers, perfectly level, with the 1/2" NPT openings facing out.
- Set the depth. Fit nipples so the threads finish about 1/2" (12 mm) proud of the finished wall surface (tile or plaster included). Measure twice before closing the wall.
- Pressure test. Cap the outlets, turn the water on and check for leaks before closing the wall.
- Finish the wall. Close the wall and tile or plaster around the outlets.
- Fit the faucet. Wrap threads with thread-seal tape, screw on the faucet, and slide the wall flanges tight to the wall. Keep the bridge or spout level.
- Flush and test. Remove the aerator, run both handles for 1 minute to flush debris, refit the aerator and check every joint.

FAQ
What is a wall mounted bathroom faucet?
A wall mount faucet comes out of the wall above the sink instead of sitting on the counter. It keeps the vanity top clear and pairs perfectly with vessel sinks, wall-hung sinks and console sinks.
Is the rough-in valve included?
Yes. Every wall mounted faucet ships with its rough-in valve connections, which your plumber installs inside the wall before the wall is closed.
How high should a wall mount faucet be installed?
Set the faucet centerline about 6–8" above the sink rim so the spout clears it by 2–3". With a vessel sink that is usually 40–42" from the finished floor.
Which spout reach do I need?
Measure from the finished wall to the center of the drain and choose the reach closest to that number, so water lands on the drain and not the side of the bowl.
Can I install a wall mount faucet on an existing wall?
Yes, but the wall must be opened to add blocking and run the supply lines. It is easiest during a bathroom remodel.
Will unlacquered brass tarnish?
Unlacquered brass has no coating, so it naturally develops a warm patina. That is part of its charm, and a brass polish restores the shine any time.
How do I clean a brass wall faucet?
Wipe with a soft cloth and mild soapy water, then dry. Avoid bleach, abrasive pads and vinegar.
What is the processing time?
Each faucet is handmade and checked before shipping, so please allow 7 days of processing. It then ships with free express shipping and tracking.

Materials & Care
Materials & Care
Authentic Solid Brass and Copper
Every Kinycraft piece is handcrafted from genuine copper or premium solid brass. We do not use lightweight plated metals or imitation finishes. Our materials are carefully selected for their strength, durability, natural beauty, and ability to develop character over time.
Because our products are handmade, slight variations in texture, hammering, color, and finish are natural. These differences are not defects—they make every piece unique.
Unlacquered Brass
Our unlacquered brass products are made from solid brass without a protective lacquer coating. They normally arrive with a bright, polished appearance and gradually develop a natural patina through exposure to air, moisture, oils, and everyday use.
The finish may become warmer, darker, or more aged over time. This natural transformation is known as a living finish and is part of the authentic character of unlacquered brass.
Customers who prefer the original shiny appearance can regularly polish the brass. Those who appreciate an aged, vintage look can allow the patina to develop naturally.
Copper
Our copper pieces are made from genuine copper and may be offered in polished, hammered, aged, oxidized, or custom patina finishes.
Like unlacquered brass, copper is a living material. Its color may naturally deepen or change over time depending on humidity, handling, water exposure, and the surrounding environment. These variations add warmth and individuality to each handcrafted product.
Daily Cleaning
For regular care:
- Clean the surface with a soft cloth, warm water, and mild soap.
- Rinse away any soap residue with clean water.
- Dry the item immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth.
- Wipe away water spots regularly, especially in hard-water areas.
- Use a soft microfiber cloth to avoid scratching the finish.
Maintaining a Shiny Finish
To preserve or restore a bright polished appearance:
- Use a brass or copper polish suitable for unlacquered metal.
- Apply a small amount using a soft cloth.
- Always test the product on a small, discreet area first.
- Polish gently and follow the product manufacturer’s instructions.
- Remove all remaining polish and buff the surface with a clean cloth.
Frequent polishing is optional. It should only be done when you wish to reduce or remove the natural patina.
Preserving the Natural Patina
To maintain the naturally aged appearance:
- Avoid metal polish and abrasive cleaning products.
- Clean gently using mild soap and water.
- Dry the surface after cleaning.
- Allow the finish to continue changing naturally.
- Avoid excessive rubbing, as this may create brighter areas.
Products to Avoid
Do not use:
- Bleach or chlorine-based cleaners
- Strong chemical cleaning sprays
- Abrasive powders or scouring pads
- Steel wool or hard brushes
- Oven cleaners or aggressive degreasers
- Highly acidic products unless specifically intended for brass or copper
Harsh products may stain, scratch, discolor, or permanently alter the metal finish.
Important Care Notes
Water quality, humidity, fingerprints, cleaning habits, and environmental conditions can affect how quickly brass and copper develop patina. Areas that are frequently touched may change color faster than less-used sections.
For faucets, sinks, showers, and bathroom accessories, drying the surface after use will help reduce mineral deposits and water marks. A soft cloth should be used around engraved, hammered, or detailed areas.
Natural patina, surface variation, and gradual color changes are expected characteristics of genuine unlacquered brass and copper. They are not considered manufacturing defects.
