INTRODUCING A SELECTION OF
SIGNATURE FINISHES FROM
THOMPSON TRADERS
Human touch is evident in every handcrafted copper vessel
created by Thompson Traders, from start to finish. The process
begins by melting copper into a pancake-shaped ingot. The
ingot is heated in a fire then hammered into shape. After the
metal has cooled, the process is repeated—over and over—until
the company's coppersmiths have achieved the desired design
and finish.
ANTIQUE SATIN GOLD FINISH
As distinct as Cartier's rose gold watch, the Chelsea Limited
Editions sink is the epitome of style, crafted with a square double
wall design and hidden drain. The subtle hints in the finish are a
nod to creative director Alejandra Ochoa de Thompson's jewelry
inspiration. Shown in the hand-hammered finish of antique satin
gold, the sink's golden rosy glow feels both modern and timeless.
Dimensions: Outer, 12 inches; inner, 12 inches; depth, 3 inches.
Sinks shown are available in multiple finishes.
Adding flair to functionality, the flower-shaped Fiore Legacy
sink dazzles. It's the perfect powder room addition, adding
polished elegance. A smooth antique satin gold finish enhances
the texture and layering of color achieved through the skilled
hands of Thompson Traders' coppersmiths. Dimensions: Outer,
19 inches; inner, 19 inches; depth ½ inch round. Sinks shown are
available in multiple finishes.
BLACK NICKEL FINISH
A black nickel finish is akin to the urban thrill of ambling down
a centuries-old cobblestone street toward a favored neighborhood
café or other modern comfort. Copper peeks from beneath a
black nickel finish creating a metallic and truly one-of-a-kind feel
for the Matisse Limited Editions sink. Dimensions: Outer, 19 x 13
¾ inches; inner, 17 x 11 ¾ inches; depth, 6 inches oval. Sinks
shown are available in multiple finishes.
MULTI-COLORED FINISH
The striking Baccus Tornasol Legacy sink emanates rich, warm
colors as inspiring as an ocean sunset. The round form is simple
in design, but the rich finish makes this handcrafted piece a
stand-out. The Multi-Colored finish is one of Thompson Traders'
most unique—and elaborate. The "streaking" process enables
artisans to create greens, blues, purples and yellows that seem to
swirl into the drain. Dimensions: Outer, 17 inches, inner, 15
inches, depth, 6½ inches round. Sinks shown are available in
multiple finishes.
