Give your kitchen sink a durable, elegant upgrade with our 3-1/2" solid brass basket strainer. Built to US plumbing standards and finished in natural unlacquered brass, this strainer delivers reliable daily performance while adding warmth and character to any kitchen.
Solid Brass. No Coatings. No Compromises.

Frequently Asked Questions
Collapsible content
What is unlacquered brass?
Unlacquered brass faucets are made from solid brass without any protective coating. Unlike lacquered finishes, it naturally reacts with air, water, and touch, developing a rich patina over time. This living finish is highly valued in luxury kitchen and bathroom design.
Does unlacquered brass tarnish or change color?
Yes. Unlacquered brass develops a natural patina, which can range from warm honey tones to deeper antique shades. This is not a defect — it’s a premium feature that makes each piece unique.
What is the difference between unlacquered brass and coated brass?
Unlacquered brass is a raw, living finish that evolves over time, while coated brass is sealed to maintain a fixed appearance. Designers often prefer unlacquered brass for its authentic aging and timeless character.
Why do designers choose unlacquered brass faucets?
Designers choose unlacquered brass for its natural aging, authenticity, and ability to add warmth and depth to interiors. It is commonly used in high-end kitchens and luxury bathrooms.
Do I need to maintain unlacquered brass?
Maintenance is minimal. You can allow it to patina naturally or clean it occasionally with gentle methods like soap and water or natural solutions such as lemon and baking soda.
Is unlacquered brass worth it?
Unlacquered brass faucets are considered a premium choice for homeowners and designers who value authenticity, natural aging, and long-term character. While they require a different mindset than coated finishes, they offer a unique look that cannot be replicated.
Is unlacquered brass safe for drinking water?
Yes. High-quality brass fixtures meet U.S. standards for low lead content. Our fixtures are designed to meet these safety expectations.
All internal components are safe and designed for kitchen and bathroom usage.
