Thompson Traders coppersmiths combine craftsmanship with beauty for the kitchen and bath

Greensboro, N.C. (January 2, 2016) – While the kitchen remains the heart of the home, the bath stands as a place to escape. And, both spaces deserve the beauty of Thompson Traders with newly introduced hand-hammered copper sinks at the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS), the industry’s premier event, January 10-12, 2017, Booth S-5824.

Mixing metals may be a driving trend in jewelry, but it is also hot in personalizing kitchens and material choices made by homeowners. With that in mind, Thompson Traders introduces Silver Line, a farmhouse sink in Black Copper finish, with a framing nickel stripe meant to coordinate with stainless steel fixtures and appliances. Dimensions: 22 inches x 33 inches rectangle, 9-1/4 inches depth.

Destined to be the center of attention, the Gari farmhouse sink feels both modern and timeless with its handcrafted Rose Gold finish. Each stroke of the craftsman’s hammer yields a unique piece of art guaranteeing no two products are identical. The hammering process varies depending on the vessel. Some require more than 15,000 strokes in order to attain their final appearance. Dimensions: 33 inches x 22 inches round, 9-1/8 inches depth.

On a clear night, the sky blazes with the brilliance of billions of stars. Historically, stars have guided us, even inspired us. It’s that calming influence of a starry night that inspires the name of Thompson Traders’ new Stella Sink. Shown in handcrafted, hand-hammered Rose Gold finish, Stella gleams in the bath. Dimensions: 17 inches round, 5 inches depth.

Shown in Rose Gold finish, the Palla Sink is beautiful, classic and eye-catching, with both texture and dimension. Even more, it comes from the hands of master craftsman in Santa Clara del Cobre, Mexico, a historic coppersmithing region. Each copper vessel is hand-hammered, with coppersmith dedicating hours, days and sometimes weeks to create a one-of-a-kind sink. Dimensions: 13-3/8 inches x 4-9/16 inches round, 5 inches depth.
