The Precious Metals Collection by Native Trails features fireclay sinks finished with genuine precious metals, including 24k gold, silver, platinum, and gunmetal. This collection highlights a distinctive material approach that blends traditional ceramic craftsmanship with refined metallic finishes.
Precious Metals sinks are designed for kitchens and bathrooms where material expression and artisan detail are as important as everyday functionality.
What Defines the Precious Metals Collection
Sinks in the Precious Metals Collection are crafted from fine fireclay and finished by hand with genuine precious metals. Each sink undergoes a multi-step firing and glazing process that enhances durability while preserving the depth and character of the metallic finish.
The gunmetal finish combines gold, silver, and platinum tones into a single layered surface, offering a darker, more contemporary interpretation of precious metal design.
Artisan Craftsmanship and Production Process
These fireclay sinks are handcrafted by skilled Italian artisans using techniques rooted in generations of ceramic tradition. Each sink is fired multiple times at high temperatures, then sealed with a custom-formulated protective finish to support long-term use.
Because the glazing is applied by hand, subtle variations in tone and texture are expected and considered part of the collection’s character.
Applications Across Kitchen and Bath
The Precious Metals Collection includes sinks designed for a variety of applications. Depending on the model, these sinks can be used as farmhouse kitchen sinks, undermount or drop-in sinks, and decorative vessel sinks for bathroom vanities.
This versatility allows precious metal finishes to be incorporated into both traditional and contemporary interiors.
Care and Long-Term Performance
Precious Metals fireclay sinks are engineered for regular residential use. Routine care typically involves mild soap, warm water, and gentle drying. Abrasive cleaners should be avoided to protect the glazed surface and metallic finish.
Detailed care instructions are provided by Native Trails with each product.
