Vintage crane sink faucet- any creative ideas?

9 years ago

Hello, I was given this beautiful sink and would like to use it in my kitchen remodel. It has a 45 degree slant back faucet. I see slant faucets for lav sinks but not kitchen:(. Do you think it's possible to rig a faucet to fit? Any suggestions appreciated! Thank you for your consideration.

    Have a custom Glacier White gloss escutcheon built and you could install any modern faucet.

    Something articulating like the Kohler Karbon might work. But I'm not sure if the deck mount or wall mount version would be the better choice!

    Joseph, thanks for your comment! I'm trying to envision the escutcheon; how would it change the angle of the deck? Thank you!

    Thank you, Sophie! I looked up the faucets. I think one may work; I will search one out to view in person. I'd need to decide if the sink is worth the cost of faucet. My next post will be asking about pairing the sink with my new lacanche range and how to create a kitchen around them, the faucet would definitely add some pizazz!

    I think a wall mount faucet--a long spout, really long!--might work. You'd have to fill the holes with those button things (sink hole cover? faucet hole cover?). I grew up seeing the button things everywhere so they don't offend me; they just have a vintage feel as though something has been around a while.

    Chicago Faucets has some long spout options as well as the perfect look for such a sink.

    I think Joseph is saying you'd build up the angled area with Corian to get a flat spot.

    Thanks Fori! I thought of the wall mount spout- unfortunately it's right under the window:( I appreciate your input!

    Check out the website for deabath.com looks like they had a solution

    And yes - do whatever you can to save that sink!

    Repair/refurbish the existing faucet. We did that for a cool old sink we found for our powder room. The parts were very inexpensive.

    That sink is awesome! I would use it for sure!

    You might be able to reuse the angled part of that faucet--looks like the spout screws off? See what can be removed beneath. Some of the commercial lines (not just Chicago faucets but American Standard, etc.) have parts sold separately.

    Believe it or not that faucet set is exactly what i was looking for when i started looking,so can you tell me where you found it. My sink looks different but is also a double basin. And i really mean believe it or not. Many many thanks if you would

    Sorry I've been off Houzz! Contact Dave at Deabath.com. He's super helpful and can fix you right up!
    I'm not sure that we will use the sink in new kitchen due to size of kitchen- it's a big sink! May have to hold on to it until the next house.
    Good luck with yours.

    Did you find a solution? I am interested in the actual slanted faucet if you want to sell it...

    Hi Dina. We won't use the sink this time around but I'm going to keep it all together for future use. Thank you!

    I know its an old post, but! Its a Crane sink and you have the faucet. Just rebuild it. New seals inside and should be good. If a valve is bad there are places that sell new valves

    I believe this is a preWW2 Crane Slantback Sink. I bought this house and it had the following faucet setup. I would like to know what you finally did with yours. Thank you.
