It measures 16 inches wide, 21 inches long and 6 inches high, and its finish is honed and filled. Every sink is carved individually, so each one is a different piece of stone with its own pattern, and it ages with character rather than wearing out.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003ch3\u003eMatte stone with filled pores\u003c\/h3\u003e \n\u003cp\u003eThe honed and filled surface gives the bowl a matte look and a smooth feel. Travertine forms with tiny natural pores; on this sink they are filled during the handcrafting process, which leaves fewer places for water and residue to settle. The honed face also keeps mineral deposits and water spots far less visible than they would be on a glossy surface. The edges are smooth and curved, with no sharp corners to work around during cleaning. The walls are 2 to 3 cm thick. Valencia has moderate color variation, so the balance of beige, gold and brown changes from bowl to bowl.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHoned and filled\u003c\/strong\u003e A matte, smooth surface with the natural pores of the travertine filled.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurved oval\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft edges and a 6 inch deep basin for comfortable washing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \n\u003ch3\u003eThe center of the vanity\u003c\/h3\u003e \n\u003cp\u003eSet above the counter, the bowl becomes the focal point of the vanity. The warm stone tones sit well in modern, contemporary, traditional and transitional bathrooms, and they work with white vanities, natural wood or marble countertops. The sink can also be undermounted when a flush counter line is preferred. The standard 4 cm drain opening fits typical bathroom plumbing without modification.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e 16\" W × 21\" L × 6\" H, solid Valencia travertine.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrain\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 cm standard drain opening.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \n\u003ch3\u003ePick vessel or undermount\u003c\/h3\u003e \n\u003cp\u003eDecide the mounting before the counter is cut. As a vessel, the bowl sits on a flat, level counter over a drain hole cut to line up with the 4 cm drain, set in silicone, and it needs a tall vessel faucet or a wall-mounted faucet that reaches over the rim. As an undermount, the counter needs a cutout sized to the bowl, with the sink supported from below. Either way, solid travertine is heavy, so the counter and cabinet must be sturdy, and professional installation is recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003ch3\u003eWhy we chose it\u003c\/h3\u003e \n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePores already filled\u003c\/strong\u003e The honed surface is filled during carving, which keeps the stone smoother and easier to live with.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA long history\u003c\/strong\u003e Travertine was used in Roman architecture for centuries, and it ages into a subtle patina.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade to order\u003c\/strong\u003e GMSTONE makes each sink to order, with custom sizes, shapes and finishes on request.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \n\u003ch3\u003eCustom Valencia from GMSTONE\u003c\/h3\u003e \n\u003cp\u003eGMSTONE makes this sink to order on two schedules: the 3 to 4 week option ships sooner, while the 8 to 14 week option is the lower-priced choice. Beyond the standard 16 by 21 by 6 inch size, GMSTONE can make Valencia sinks in custom sizes, shapes and finishes, from a small adjustment for a vanity to a fully bespoke basin.

Acids such as vinegar or lemon juice can etch the honed surface, and periodic resealing protects it; how often depends on use, typically once or twice a year.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GMSTONE","offers":[{"title":"3-4 Weeks \/ (W)16\" (L)21\" (H)6\" \/ Honed-Filled","offer_id":54022415745392,"sku":"EGESTN01","price":1055.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8-14 Weeks \/ (W)16\" (L)21\" (H)6\" \/ Honed-Filled","offer_id":54022415778160,"sku":"EGESTN01SO","price":521.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1019\/4157\/6048\/files\/Valencia-travertine-oval-sink-EGESTN01-L21-W16-H6-room-scene.jpg?v=1783800412","url":"https:\/\/stonetiledepot.myshopify.com\/products\/valencia-travertine-natural-stone-oval-vessel-sink","provider":"Stone Tile Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
