Product Description
The Rectangular Cantera Stone Sink with Square Basin and Left Deck combines monolithic construction with a practical asymmetrical layout. Hand-carved from one block of natural cantera, it measures 22 × 16 × 6 inches and features a 12 × 12 × 4.5-inch square basin positioned toward the right. An 8-inch deck on the left provides convenient space for a soap dish, dispenser, tumbler, candle, or other bathroom accessories, while 2-inch rims border the basin on the front, back, and right. Its rough hand-chiseled exterior contrasts with a honed matte basin that retains natural pores and mineral movement. The centered drain opening measures 1.75 inches. Read our stone bathroom sinks guide for planning tips, sizing recommendations, and sink selection advice. Order this handcrafted cantera sink as a functional bathroom focal point.
Product Summary
- One-piece carved cantera stone
- Overall size: 22 × 16 × 6 inches
- 8-inch left accessory deck
- About eight-week total lead time
Rectangular Sink Design
The sink uses a long rectangular exterior with a square basin offset toward the right. This placement creates a useful accessory deck without requiring a separate shelf or tray. Nearly vertical outer faces, a level upper surface, substantial stone walls, and a flat base give the design strong architectural presence. Its simple geometry suits contemporary interiors, while the irregular hand-worked exterior preserves the rustic character of traditional Mexican stone carving.
Square Basin & Left Accessory Deck
The recessed square basin has straight walls, softly eased corners, and a gently sloped floor that guides water toward the centered drain. Its position leaves an 8-inch integrated deck on the left for soap, a dispenser, tumbler, folded washcloth, candle, or decorative accessory. Because the bowl and deck are carved from the same stone block, the practical surface remains visually consistent with the sink’s monolithic construction.
Two-Inch Basin Rims
The front, back, and right sides of the bowl are framed by approximately 2-inch rims. These substantial borders balance the wider left deck and emphasize the visual mass of the stone. The flat upper surface also creates a defined frame around the square basin and an accessible area for wiping. Small variations in rim width, edge alignment, and surface level are expected because every sink is individually carved.
Centered Drain Placement
The drain opening is centered within the square basin rather than within the complete rectangular exterior. This position supports balanced water movement while preserving the full accessory deck. The opening measures approximately 1.75 inches in diameter and does not include an overflow. A compatible bronze drain may be selected as an optional addition when placing the order.
Exterior & Interior Finish
The exterior remains intentionally rough, displaying chiseled texture, stone fractures, mineral pockets, small cavities, open pores, and visible tool marks. The basin and upper deck receive a smoother honed finish for easier cleaning, but the matte surface continues to show natural pits, color movement, and subtle carving texture. This contrast gives the sink a refined working surface without removing the individual character of the stone.
Finish Comparison
| Feature | Rough Exterior | Honed Interior |
| Texture | Deep hand-chiseled movement | Smoother matte surface |
| Appearance | Rustic and irregular | Refined but naturally varied |
| Stone details | Voids, fractures, and tool marks | Pores and mineral movement |
| Cleaning | Use a soft brush | Use a soft cloth |
Natural Cantera Variation
Cantera is a porous volcanic stone traditionally quarried and carved in Mexico. Its coloration may include warm ivory, cream, light sand, beige, and subtle gray undertones. Mineral inclusions, small cavities, crystalline movement, pores, and tonal shifts vary from block to block. Differences in color, deck width, rim thickness, corner definition, surface texture, and carving marks make each handcrafted sink unique rather than defective.

Customization & Installation
Custom exterior dimensions, basin sizes, deck widths, rim proportions, drain placement, and selected cantera colors may be available when specified before production. Stone samples and photographs should be treated as general references because exact color, mineral movement, pore distribution, and texture vary naturally. All dimensional changes should be confirmed before the vanity, countertop opening, plumbing, and backsplash are fabricated.
Faucet, Drain & Vanity Planning
A wall-mounted faucet is recommended because it preserves the left deck for accessories and keeps the upper stone surface clear. Confirm the spout reach, outlet height, pressure, handle clearance, backsplash depth, and finished sink height before rough plumbing. A tall vessel faucet may also be installed beside or behind the sink when sufficient counter space is available. The optional faucet and drain should be selected before installation planning is finalized.
Support & Installation
The solid stone sink requires a level countertop and structurally stable vanity. The installer must determine suitable reinforcement, adhesives, sealants, drain connections, and mounting materials for the project. Professional installation by an experienced stone fabricator and licensed plumber is recommended. Handle the sink carefully during unpacking and placement to protect the accessory deck, basin rims, corners, and natural carved surfaces.
Cantera Stone Care & Sealing
Protect cantera with a penetrating stone sealer suitable for bathroom applications. Clean the basin and deck with mild soap, water, and a soft cloth or nonabrasive sponge. Avoid acidic products, bleach, abrasive powders, scouring pads, and harsh cleaners. The rough exterior may be cleaned gently with a soft brush. Temporary darkening after water exposure is normal for porous stone, and periodic resealing may be necessary depending on use and cleaning habits.
