Sources of traditional polished brass kitchen faucets?

last year

I have a friend who is looking for a polished brass traditional 4 hole faucet set. Her entire kitchen has polished brass hardware, and she is just trying to replace the old faucet set. All she can find is those one hole space age faucet things.

@jacqueline9CA - when you say "traditional 4 hole faucet set" do you mean a "bridge faucet"? If so, "bridge faucet" is the term you should use when searching for them. There are hundreds of bridge faucets to choose from. You can check any of the links that @iroll posted above.

Having said that, you couldn't PAY me to put a bridge faucet in my kitchen. I dislike having to use two knobs to turn on/off the water and adjust the temperature each time. I dislike a side sprayer for many reasons especially cause you have to keep holding it. I dislike all the holes to clean around. If your friend decides to get the easier and more efficient single hole faucet, she just needs to get a "deck plate" to cover the other 3 holes. Here are pics:

I would replace it with brass so it matches or is closely coordinated. If I were a potential buyer I would wonder if the non-matching faucets were a quick fix. I think this is one of those situations where keeping the finishes the same is more important.

aging polished brass faucet

Jax makes a product for ageing brass and copper. You'll first have to remove any lacquer on the faucet (boil in baking soda after removing the washers, etc.). I've used this product on brass light switch plates and then followed up with a light wax (Pledge or brown shoe polish). For a kitchen faucet, you'll have to be careful with any cleaners as they'll remove the darker patina.

And I will agree with jrueter and kristine2009- I have Delta and love it. I replaced my kitchen faucet with the Delta Saxony which I feel like I get a commission from recommending it so much but really its a good one and might even satisfy your style requirements. The faucets we are replacing all happen to be low grade builders models from when we built the house 20 years ago and I think only one was replaced due to a leak (and we have 4 bathrooms, kitchen sink, laundry sink you get the idea)- all the others are still functioning fine - just time to update. I would most definitely buy Delta again and I hear comparable things about Moen which is what the bathroom contractor seems to prefer. Here is a link that might be useful: delta saxony

Unlacquered brass kitchen bridge faucet with pull-down feature?
Q
Comments (30)
@Jessica Uhler, I love it. I also used it for all my kitchen hardware-- and all the other plumbing in the house. I don't do anything to maintain it. I don't wipe water spots or anything because I like the patina. There's a tiny bit of green in areas that get the most water, which isn't my favorite. I'm planning to give those areas a light once-over with steel wool when I finally get around to it. I did not use unlacquered brass for the kitchen sink drain. I thought drains would get too much patina or something. I bought a white powder coated drain to blend in with my sink. But actually the powder coating is coming off, and all the other unlaquered brass drains in my house (bathroom sinks, tub, shower) look great, so I'm going to swap the kitchen drain.
