You have probably seen oil rubbed bronze faucets before, but might not know their name. They are the dark, old fashioned looking faucets.  This type of faucet is commonly seen in fancy restaurants and hotels, but lately they have become increasingly available for homes as well.  They are a great choice if what you are looking for is different and special.  Apart from their looks though, one of the best things about an oil rubbed bronze faucet is that they don’t have to cost a lot of money.  Let’s take a look at the cheapest faucets made of this material available today.

Inexpensive Oil Rubbed Bronze Kitchen Faucets

Price Pfister makes one of the best value bronze faucets that I’ve come across.  Their Marielle faucet has a decorative arc spout, includes a kitchen sprayer on the side, and best of all costs less than $50.  It is pretty hard to find any decent kitchen faucet with a sprayer for this price, and Price Pfister faucets have a lifetime guarantee as well, so you really can’t lose on this one.

Another cheapie is from Sky Enterprise.  They sell a high arcing, pull down oil rubbed bronze kitchen faucet for only $80.  This company offers a number of great looking faucets at deep discount prices, including the great looking bamboo waterfall faucet.

Inexpensive Oil Rubbed Bronze Bathroom Faucets

There are some great deals on this type of bathroom faucet.  Bathroom faucets tend to be cheaper than kitchen ones anyway, so you can easily find one for a great price.  A company called Euro Modern makes some great looking oil rubbed bronze lavatory faucets in distinctive styles for low prices.  One of them is a single handle waterfall faucet, which spreads the water out in a wide arc.  Another one they make is a tall vessel sink faucet that costs only $49.  This company tends to focus on contemporary designs, while others feature faucets with the old fashioned look.
Another great deal is a Danze oil rubbed bronze faucet. Danze is a pretty reputable company that produces some outstanding products.  Their faucets tend to be on the expensive side, but the Danze Sheridan line of lavatory faucets is priced starting at only $40.  One of them has a basic design with long, thin handles, a small spout, and is center-set.  Another Sheridan model has a higher arching neck with the same handles for a few bucks more.
You can also get very inexpensive oil rubbed bronze bath faucets, bar faucets, and shower combination fixtures.  Many large manufacturers have each type of product available in any number of materials.  These include chrome, stainless steel, brushed nickel, and oil rubbed bronze.

Whether you are looking for a faucet for your kitchen sink, bathroom sink, or tub, you might want to consider one made out oil rubbed bronze.  If you want something different than the same old shiny silver chrome faucets that are in nearly every house, these are a good choice.  A variety of manufacturers produce these dark colored faucets and they are made in different styles.  Many of them have an old fashioned look to them, but some of them have great features as well.  Let’s take a look at some of the best oil rubbed bronze faucets available.

Oil Rubbed Bronze Kitchen Faucet

Though most of these bronze faucets are made specifically for bathrooms, there are some nice ones that fit on kitchen sinks as well.  Premier makes one that has a very high neck – 13 ½ inches high, has a single handle mounted on the side, and even has a side sprayer.  What makes this faucet different than others like it is that it is a lighter color.  While an oil rubbed bronze faucet is usually a very dark brown color, the ones made by Premier are a lighter color. This one is quite a good deal for $129.
Moen makes some nice looking oil rubbed bronze kitchen faucets as well.  The Camerist single handle kitchen faucet with pull out spout will look great on any kitchen sink and has some nifty features as well.  One of them is a spout that pulls out to become a sprayer.  This is always a good thing to have on a sink, and with a pull-out, you don’t need to clutter up your sink space with a side mounted version.  Another unique feature this faucet offers is a pause button.  I guess pause buttons aren’t just for remote controls anymore.  This faucet has one on it for when you just want to stop the flow for a second, but keep the temperature and water flow the same.

Oil Rubbed Bronze Bathroom Faucet

There are many of oil rubbed bronze lavatory faucets to choose from, and they come in a dazzling array of styles.  You can easily get one that has the styles of most other bathroom sink faucets, or you can get an original one.  One of the most unique ones is the Danze Opulence single handle faucet.  It has a beautiful, old fashioned look all its own, a single handle on top, and mounts onto the sink with a single hole.  The Danze Opulence line comes in different materials as well, including chrome, brushed nickel, black satin, and antique copper.  The oil rubbed bronze version is the cheapest as well, costing only around $89.
Another great looking oil rubbed bronze lavatory faucet is the Schon single post mount faucet.  This faucet has a heavy, square look to it that rises out of a single hole in the sink with a German influenced design.  The spout is open on top, which makes it a “waterfall faucet”.  If you like the style but not the color, they also come in Satin Nickel (shiny silver) and chrome.

Oil Rubbed Bronze Shower Faucet

If you want a darker color in your tub, one of the best ways to achieve that is by getting an oil rubbed bronze bath faucet set.  Depending on the model, they can come with a shower head, drain lever, levers (either single handle or hot and cold separately), and a tub faucet.  You can get other oil rubbed bronze accessories individually as well, such as a tub strainer drain, a bathtub overflow, or a toilet flush lever.

When designing your kitchen, you want it to be special.  It always feels great to have guests comment on things in your kitchen.  While some people spend a fortune turning their kitchens into showpieces, there are a few simple things you can do to make it stand out a little more.  One of those ways is by getting an oil rubbed bronze kitchen faucet.  These dark and smooth looking faucets are almost guaranteed to draw compliments, simply because they are something different from what everyone else has in their kitchen.  The best thing about them is that they don’t cost a whole lot.  In fact, some of them are very inexpensive, making them the same price as the chrome kitchen faucets everyone else buys.  Here is a guide to some great looking bronze faucets.

In my opinion, one of the best deals in the whole kitchen is a Price Pfister oil rubbed bronze kitchen faucet.  Their Marielle single handle faucet with side sprayer looks absolutely wonderful. It has an old fashioned, elegant style with a dark finish, and costs just $89.  In addition, it has a ceramic disk valve, which stops it from dripping when it isn’t supposed to. The sprayer is also made out of the same material.  The advantage of buying a faucet from a company like Price Pfister is that they have a lifetime warranty on their products.
Another cheapie is made by Plumb USA.  They produce a simple goose neck kitchen faucet with a high arching neck.  They even include a sprayer, all for around $70.  This is about as cheap of a price as you can find for this material.

Oil Rubbed Bronze Pull Out Kitchen Faucet

One of the best types of oil rubbed bronze kitchen faucets is the pull out version.  A relatively new innovation in kitchen sink technology, they combine the faucet and a sprayer in one.  Most models do a great job of hiding the fact that their faucet comes apart when pulled, which is a good thing.  Though this type of kitchen faucet comes in different styles, the Danze produces some of the most unique faucets that I’ve come across.  You can get an oil rubbed bronze pull down kitchen faucet made by a company that makes pull downs their specialty. Their product lines comes in a few styles, from the compact to high necked versions.  Some of their pull downs have high arching goose necks and others have distinct, straighter necks.  Pull down faucets usually cost a bit more than those without this feature, but there are a few little-known companies that make them for cheap prices as well.  If you want one from a company like Delta, Danze, or Price Pfister, expect to pay between $100 and $300.
