Description

We wanted to offer taps in an unlacquered brass finish that was reminiscent of old vintage taps, something with a lovely patina that looked and felt less new and went perfectly with our painted cupboards and traditional Belfast, marble and copper sinks.

Now you don't have to search for the perfectly aged brass tap, as after much research we have come up with what we think is a really good and authentic finish that is exclusive to deVOL customers. They are British made and of the very best quality.

Care & Maintenance

Dry with a soft cloth after each use. Clean regularly with warm water or warm water combined with a mild pH-neutral liquid soap and then polish with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth. A microfibre cloth is ideal as it is gentle but effective for cleaning without scratching and needs only to be dampened with water to clean the product.

Do not use abrasive cloths, scouring pads, scrub sponges, steel wool etc. as they may damage the surface.

Under no circumstances should harsh cleaning agents containing acidic, caustic or abrasive components such as bleach, alcohol or vinegar based substances be used.

To remove limescale we advise a 50/50 solution of lemon juice and water. To avoid it running away, apply to some cotton wool and wrap around the area. Leave on for no more than an hour then remove the cotton wool and rinse with clean water and dry fully with a lint-free cloth. For heavy scaling, the process can be repeated as long as the area is rinsed off with clean water in-between treatments to avoid a build-up of the citric acid.

the perfect aged brass tap, by deVOL

A great set of taps can completely make a kitchen and it's always the vintage brass styles that catch our eye, but they’re just so hard to find in good working order. The idea of making something that looked old but worked like new was just too good to pass up so we reached out to an English tapware company to help us create a collection in our very own deVOL Aged Brass finish. These taps have become a staple in our customers’ kitchens and in so many homes all over the world.

Like our furniture, deVOL taps are made using traditional methods, we embrace the use of modern machinery but often the old ways are the best. The iron mould is prepared for casting by inserting sand cores, which form the internal waterways in the tap. The mould is then closed and the molten brass is ladled into the mould at nearly 1000 degrees Celsius. The brass cools very quickly in the mould and can be opened after just a minute, leaving the fresh, but still extremely hot, casting. All the shaping and polishing of the rough castings is done by hand by highly skilled polishers. This process is done by eye and, as with many stages of tap making, it is dependent on the skill of the craftsperson to ensure the perfect finish.

The beautifully smooth, mottled finish is what makes these taps unique and so special. They have no lacquer or plating on them, we just speed up the ageing process to give a subtle aged look to the bare brass. This is why they look so authentic and only get better with time and use. There’s a lot of work that goes into crafting these beauties and we can’t thank the brilliant team behind them enough for working with us to create our dream taps and for sharing these fascinating behind the scenes images with us.
