Karran Chantilly Touchless Faucet for Hands-Free Kitchen Convenience
The Karran Chantilly is a touchless, single-handle pull-down kitchen faucet finished in Brushed Gold. Its motion sensor lets you start and stop water with a wave of the hand — a practical advantage when your hands are full or coated in food prep — while the single lever stays available for precise temperature and flow control whenever you want it.
Key Features
• Touch-free motion sensor starts and stops water flow with a hand wave, no contact required.
• Single lever control handles both flow and temperature independently of the sensor.
• Pull-down spray head delivers targeted water delivery into the bowl on a retractable hose.
• Single-hole mounting installs through one deck or countertop opening.
• Brushed Gold finish applied by durable PVD for a warm, coordinated look at the sink.
• Lead-free brass construction with a ceramic cartridge rated to 1.5 million cycles.
Where the Touchless Feature Earns Its Place
The sensor mode on the Chantilly is most useful during the messiest parts of cooking: raw meat prep, garden produce rinsing, and floury baking sessions where touching a handle spreads contamination or makes a mess of the finish. A wave of the hand starts the flow; another stops it. When you need finer control — filling a pot to a specific level, or dialing in temperature for a delicate rinse — the lever takes over. The pull-down head extends the reach into deep pots or double-bowl sinks, pulling back on its hose when the task is done. Single-hole mounting keeps the deck clean and works with most standard sink layouts, including countertop-mounted faucet positions on undermount installations where there is no sink faucet deck.
Brushed Gold Finish and Long-Term Construction
Brushed Gold is a warm, muted tone that sits between polished brass and yellow gold — it pairs well with white, cream, and grey cabinet finishes and coordinates with hardware in similar warm metallics. The PVD process bonds the finish to the lead-free brass body at a level that resists daily handling better than plating alone. Inside, a ceramic cartridge rated to 1.5 million cycles handles the mechanical work of every open-and-close, sensor-triggered or manual. The nylon braided hose on the pull-down head is color-matched to the finish group, keeping the under-sink area tidy when the spray head is extended.
A Good Fit for Design-Forward Kitchens and Active Cooks
The Chantilly in Brushed Gold suits kitchen remodels where the faucet is a visible design element, not just a utility fixture. Designers specifying warm-toned hardware across a kitchen will find the finish coordinates with cabinet pulls, knobs, and lighting fixtures in Brushed Gold or Champagne Bronze families. For homeowners and cooks who prepare meals frequently, the sensor removes a friction point that adds up over thousands of daily uses. Cabinet shops installing sinks and faucets as part of kitchen packages can pair this faucet with Karran undermount or top mount sinks and present clients a finished, coordinated result from a single source.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the faucet be used in manual mode without the sensor?
Yes. The single lever operates independently of the motion sensor, so you can control flow and temperature by hand whenever the sensor mode is not what the task calls for. Both modes work from the same faucet.
What kind of countertop opening does this faucet require?
The Chantilly mounts through a single hole in the deck or countertop. It does not require a multi-hole cutout or a deck plate for a standard installation.
Does Brushed Gold coordinate with Karran's Spot Free finish family?
Brushed Gold is a separate catalog finish from the Spot Free Brushed Gold option available on some Karran accessories. If you are specifying coordinating dispensers or drain components, confirm the exact finish code on each SKU to make sure the tones match.
Is a soap dispenser included with this faucet?
No. Coordinating soap dispensers are optional accessories sold separately. Karran's SD25 and SD35 dispensers are available in finishes that can be matched to this faucet.
A Kitchen Faucet That Works With You, Not Against You
The Chantilly in Brushed Gold brings hands-free convenience and a warm, considered finish to the kitchen sink — practical for busy cooking sessions, polished enough for a designed space, and built to hold up to both.
