The Nantucket Sinks Round Hand Hammered Brass Dual-Mount Bar Sink comes in 2 versions: 13" or 15" size. Pick your options above to open the exact model, with its own price and details. The details below are for the 13" version.
The Nantucket Sinks ROB is a 13" round hand-hammered brass bar sink from the Brightwork collection, in polished brass that can be overmounted or undermounted. Small enough for the tightest wet bar, coffee nook or island corner, it is the kind of show piece Nantucket calls a statement: a glowing round of hammered metal that draws the eye wherever it is installed.
The 10.5" diameter bowl is 5" deep, sized for rinsing glasses, a cocktail shaker or a handful of fruit. The center opening takes a 2.5" bar drain; Nantucket's spec sheet pairs the ROB with the NS-403PB polished brass junior duo drain, and the sink has no overflow and no faucet holes, so the faucet mounts on the counter beside it.
Each ROB is hand hammered from 16-gauge brass, so slight variations exist and the dimensions are nominal, varying by up to 1/4". The unlacquered brass will naturally patina if left untreated; Nantucket marks it as needing special care and maintenance, which in practice means waxing it and drying it after use to keep the polish.
Overall the sink is 5.25" tall and weighs 6 lbs. The ROB-OF is a 13" round brass basin built as a bathroom sink with an overflow, and the ROS is the stainless steel version of this round bar sink.
Installing the ROB
The ROB can be overmounted on a finished bar top or undermounted below a new counter. Because every hand-made Brightwork basin is unique, Nantucket's guide provides no template: the installer traces the actual rim and, for an undermount, subtracts 1/8" from the outline (adding 1/4" where an overhang is wanted). Mounting hardware, template and silicone are not included, silicone should be kept off the bowl because it can damage the finish, and a small rim bend from shipping can be flattened with a rubber mallet over a towel.
Brightwork is Nantucket's curated assortment of specialty metal sinks, inspired by the brightwork on sailboats; like sunlight sparkling on the ocean on a clear day, the brand says, these pieces bring brilliance to a bath, bar or kitchen. The collection works in hand-hammered stainless steel, brass and copper, in round, square, oval, rectangular and trough bath and bar sinks, plus kitchen sinks, a farmhouse apron and the Steppe two-tier sink, so a home can repeat one metal from the powder room to the kitchen.
Caring for Polished Brass
Nantucket notes that brass will patina and needs occasional polishing, so the ROB comes with a short routine. Its brass care guide calls for a carnauba paste wax before first use and again every 6 months, a daily wash with a soft damp cloth and a little mild soap free of antibacterial or bleach additives, and a rinse and hand dry. Bar Keepers Friend or Brasso lifts water spots and mineral deposits, steel wool, scouring pads and sponges stay away from the finish, and wine, fruit acid and grooming products should be rinsed off promptly.
For the smallest wet bar or coffee nook, the ROB is the Nantucket Sinks 13" round hammered brass bar sink, a polished brass accent that installs over or under the counter.
Features
13" Round Polished Brass
At 13" across, the ROB fits a narrow bar cabinet or the corner of an island, and its polished brass, glowing against the counter, makes a small sink the focal point.
NS-403PB Drain Match
The 2.5" opening is made for a junior duo bar drain, and Nantucket pairs the ROB with the NS-403PB in polished brass so the drain finish matches the bowl.
Over or Under the Counter
The sink can be overmounted or undermounted, so it can sit on top of a finished bar top or below a new stone counter with a seamless edge.
16-Gauge Hand-Hammered Brass
The 16-gauge brass is hammered by hand, giving each sink its own faceted texture that catches light from every angle.
Brass Patinas Naturally
Nantucket notes this brass will naturally patina if left untreated, so it can be waxed and polished to keep the shine or allowed to deepen in color over time.
Handmade, Nominal Dimensions
Each ROB is made by hand, so Nantucket lists its measurements as nominal and they can vary by up to 1/4". Measure the actual sink before the countertop is cut so the opening fits your piece exactly.

What's Included
Sold separately: NS-403PB junior duo bar sink drain in polished brass.
Installation & Care
Installation
This handmade sink can be undermounted or top mounted (overmounted). Nantucket recommends professional installation. Because every hand-made basin is unique, no template is provided: the installer traces the actual rim, and for an undermount the guide subtracts 1/8" from the traced outline (adding 1/4" where an overhang is wanted). Mounting hardware, template and silicone are not included, and silicone should be kept off the bowl, where it can damage the finish. Wax the finish before first use. A small rim bend from shipping can be flattened with a rubber mallet over a towel. There are no faucet holes, so the faucet mounts on the countertop or the wall. The 2.5" center drain opening takes a junior duo bar drain (NS-403PB), sold separately; there is no overflow. The Brightwork installation guide is in Resources.
Care
Brass needs a little routine care: Nantucket notes it will patina and requires occasional polishing. Seal it with a good carnauba paste wax before first use and again every 6 months. Wash daily with a soft damp cloth and a little mild soap free of antibacterial or bleach additives (original Dawn is the brand's example), then rinse and hand dry; never use steel wool, a scouring pad or a sponge. Remove mineral deposits and water spots with Bar Keepers Friend or Brasso. Face cleansers, toothpaste, grooming products, wine, fruit acid and ketchup alter the finish, so rinse them off promptly.

About Nantucket Sinks
Nantucket Sinks is a boutique sink maker based in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, that has designed kitchen and bath sinks for more than two decades. Its range of over 500 products brings together fireclay, stainless steel, granite composite, vitreous china, cast iron and hand-hammered metals sourced from skilled makers in Italy, China and beyond, styled with the charm of the New England coast.
Brightwork is Nantucket Sinks' collection of handcrafted metal sinks, hand hammered in brass, copper and stainless steel. Because every sink is shaped by hand, no two are identical and nominal measurements can differ slightly from piece to piece. The range runs from small round and square bar sinks to rectangular and trough-style bathroom sinks, and unlacquered pieces develop a natural patina that Nantucket treats as part of the character of the metal, not a defect.
