There are many considerations when you set out to buy a copper sink. Things like copper purity, gauge (thickness), construction technique, the patina, style, size, position of the install (drop-in, under-mount, or vessel), but even before all these the most important consideration is the company who will sell you the sink.
SoLuna copper pendants and sconces are offered in five beautiful finishes, or patinas. All of our pure copper lighting is protected with Permalac® protective clear top coat that prevents the copper from darkening in the process of natural oxidation.
Copper was first used by man over 10,000 years ago. A copper pendant discovered in what is now northern Iraq has been dated about 8700 B.C. For nearly five millennia copper was the only metal known to man, and thus had all the metal applications.
