Run, we had one of their faucets and shower extenders on our clawfoot tub and it was NOTHING but trouble. I can try to find out what we replaced it with because the new one has been MUCH BETTER. "MTAP" had what we wanted it to LOOK like but the piece was not durable or functional. A real disappointment.

thanks, doggonegardener. It seemed too good to be true! Back to the search for a faucet!

If I can get with my husband, who's currently traveling, and he can remember where we got the one we have now I will post it. The replacement faucet and riser has been SOOOOOO much better than the one from Mac. The old one leaked all the time and we were constantly repairing it. The new one is rock solid and we have had no issues with it at all.

He mailed me and said he thought he got our current faucet at signature hardware . com. I assume that's all one word. Hope this helps!

I live in an older home and have several plumbing items from Signature Hardware. They are awesome. Great quality items and customer service. I live about 20 minutes from their showroom and to see some of their unique offerings in person is amazing. I've linked to their website. I hope they have what you're looking for.

Hi Doggonegardener and Fromthesouth -- Thanks for recommending Signature Hardware. I've had fun surfing around on their website -- love their stuff. I had no idea how hard chosing a faucet would be!

I purchased all my clawfoot tub plumbing items in unlacquered nickel from Mac, who were the only supplier who could deliver this finish (I wanted them to age to match my vintage originals). I found Mac to be very helpful, friendly on the phone, and the items arrived in a timely fashion shipped across the country.

So far so good, 3 years later, although with the caveat that I didn't get their house brand faucet; I believe my faucet and showerhead set are from Strom Plumbing aka Sign of the Crab. They're heavy and gorgeous.

Too bad folks have had issues with their quality - from the site, their house items do look great (love the wooden victorian and corner toilet sets) and they have some designs I haven't seen elsewhere.

I know there was another GWer from the CA area who went there in person and loved the store; maybe she'll see this and comment also.

We were in Sac and went in person. Loved the store. They were very helpful. We just had ISSUES with the quality and durability of the product we purchased. Husband was PERPETUALLY fixing it. It was nearly impossible to install and the junction where it would fail would necessitate uninstall/reinstall each time it had to be repaired, which was OFTEN. We finally gave up and took it to the local metal recyclers and got a new one. We've had the new one for SEVERAL years and have not had to fuss with it one time.
