We do explain how our sinks have a living finish. We don't offer a sink in black stainless steel. Nickel silver is a copper alloy that, like copper, changes with time and use. Six years ago we did make two custom sinks, but rather than black stainless steel as you stated, these were nickel silver, with an applied patina of Dark Nickel Silver. Holly, we are sorry you are not pleased with the living finish on your sinks.
AwardsĪDEX Silver, Gold & Platinum Awards for Design Excellence While the Texas Lightsmith standard line is ever-increasing, custom projects are welcome. All Texas Lightsmith products are handcrafted by local metal smiths, craftsmen, and artisans at the Texas Lightsmith studio in Austin, Texas. Keeping the work in house allows us to keep close control on quality and the details essential to making custom work. Texas Lightsmith does not support the outsourcing of U.S. Keeping the work local and the quality high have been critical to our success. Since its inception, Texas Lightsmith has produced thousands of custom chandeliers, wall fixtures, vent hoods, hanging lanterns, fireplace screens, metal counter-tops, sinks and other exquisite and unique items. In addition to tinsmithing, standard sheet metal, and wrought iron fabrication techniques, Texas Lightsmith regularly employs weaving of metal, repoussé, punching, and hammer forming to create a diverse design base for all projects.
