Farmhouse Style Kitchen sinks from the teens and , 20's have become very popular items so we try to stock them as much as possible. But, we find they are very difficult to find in good, useable original condition. We do not buy or offer sinks that have gray or black worn through areas in the basin where the enamel has been scoured or chipped away. If there is a big chip out of a part of the drainboard, the apron or the backsplash, the sink is "toast". Unfortunately, most of the old farmhouse sinks we see or hear about are damaged like this. We do not believe that it is a practical option to have a kitchen sink "re-porcelainized" or "re-glazed" due to the rough useage they receive. So, all you will find here are examples in good shape. Even still, the ones we offer will all show much evidence of wear such as scratches, etching, many minute nick type chips, some edge chips, and dullness on the working surfaces, especially the drainboards and in the basin. These are the BEST sinks we can find! You will find them very useable and impressive, even with their signs of "old age".
Note- We only sell one type of farmhouse sink, and that is the classic "kitchen farmhouse" with integral single or dual drainboards, and a single, somewhat shallow basin. This type has a back splash, and the signature feature of a "farmhouse sink", apron front and sides. We often see drainboard type sinks, with or with out a backsplash, with NO apron front and sides referred to as a farmhouse sink, but they are not "farmhouse". That is a drainboard type kitchen sink, but NOT a farmhouse sink. Farmhouse sinks have an apron front, and sides, and the old ones were freestanding off the wall, suspended only by hidden brackets, or supported on legs.
NOTE- At the moment we have no Farmhouse Sinks available for sale. But we are looking!

FARMHOUSE SINK FAUCETS
We cannot seem to find any good Farmhouse sinks to offer for sale, so we may as well offer up some of
our early kitchen faucets for sale. The faucets shown here may not all still be available, but we should have
a similar we can sell you. These faucets are all good ones, in old original condition, or recently re-nickel plated.
These are all the classic kitchen sink faucet made to mount on the vertical back splash of a farmhouse sink, in
holes set 8" on centers. The spout pivots on all of these, and there may or may not be a soap dish incorporated.
These all date from the teens, the 20s or the 30s.
If you see one you like, speak up. Prices range from around $600 to around $900 for one that is extra nice in old hardly used like new condition (original nickel plating). **Note- ALL have been SOLD at the moment. We hope to find more sometime soon. **
