Vintage French Copper Basin Sink – Upcycled Countertop Bathroom Basin

A striking vintage French brocante find, this authentic French copper cooking pot has been carefully upcycled into a unique countertop bathroom basin sink, combining original vintage character with practical modern use.

Measuring approximately 37cm (14.6 in) across, this shallow copper basin is particularly suited to bathroom vanities, cloakrooms and smaller spaces where a distinctive countertop sink can become a real feature. Its relatively lightweight design also makes it an attractive option for camper van and motorhome conversions, garden rooms and rustic outdoor kitchens.

The basin is watertight and supplied complete with a standard UK 1¼ inch bathroom pop-up waste. Choose either a brass-topped or chrome-topped waste to complement your bathroom fittings.

Unlike a newly manufactured copper sink, every one of our upcycled vintage basins has its own individual patina, marks and signs of its former life as a traditional French cooking pot. These characteristics are part of its authentic vintage appeal and make each basin unique.

Condition & authenticity

This is a genuine vintage French copper cooking pot that has been given a new life as a countertop basin. It retains the natural patina, small bumps, creases, surface marks and signs of age associated with an authentic pre-owned copper piece.

These characteristics are not manufacturing faults; they reflect the basin's history and previous use and are an important part of its individual vintage character. Please study the photographs carefully, as they form part of the condition description.
