The faucet does not come in the box with these vanities, so you choose its finish yourself. That choice is easier than it sounds, because the handles and pulls on the cabinet already set the tone. This guide shows how to match a faucet to a bathroom black vanity, using only the pairings the product pages state. Some pages name the hardware finish, but others say nothing about it. So you will also learn what to do when the page stays silent. You can see every model mentioned here in the black vanity collection at Veil.
The Pairings the Product Pages State
Five models state their hardware finish, and each one pairs the black cabinet with a different metal. The Aberdeen in Black comes with chrome hardware, so its pulls and knobs carry a bright silver tone. The Hepburn in Black comes with brushed brass bar pulls instead, which give it a warmer tone. The Gabi in Onyx Black comes with brushed gold finger-pull handles, so its metal sits on the warm side too. The Carla in Gloss Black comes with matte black handles, because its whole look runs in one dark tone. The Beaufort takes a different route, since the box holds two hardware sets and you pick the metal on the day. The page does not name the two finishes, though, so you cannot plan that match ahead.
Seven more black models do not state a hardware finish at all. The Cambridge Double Sink in Black Oak, the Clady in Matte Black, the Cuschoice, the DeerValley in Black Walnut, the Longbay in Walnut Black, the Luxeyard and the MarbleLux all stay silent on this point. So check the product page for your model before you plan a match around its handles.
Match the Faucet to Your Bathroom Black Vanity Hardware
The notes in this section are pairing guidance, not product facts, because taste plays a part in every match. Still, a few habits keep the look calm. If your cabinet hardware is chrome, a chrome faucet keeps one bright tone across the whole piece. If your pulls are brushed brass or brushed gold, a warm-metal faucet carries that warmth up to the sink. A bathroom vanity black finish shows metal clearly, so a clashing tone stands out fast against the dark doors. If your handles are matte black, a matte black faucet gives you a one-tone look from top to bottom. However, if the product page does not state the hardware finish, you cannot match from a photo alone. You can wait until the vanity arrives and match the real metal in your hand, or you can confirm the finish on the product page first. Once the metals match, care keeps them looking right, and the black finish care guide covers the cleaning side of that job.
Pattern Comes Before Finish
A finish match does not help if the faucet cannot fit the top, so check the drilling first. The Aberdeen top is drilled for an 8 in widespread faucet, although its 32 in corner size takes a 4 in centerset instead. The MarbleLux and the DeerValley each take a single-hole faucet, because their tops carry one hole per sink. The Clady changes with size, since the smaller widths take a 4 in centerset faucet and the larger widths take an 8 in widespread. The Gabi changes the same way, with a 4 in centerset at 24 in and an 8 in widespread at 36 in and up. So read the drilling line for your exact size before you fall for a finish.
When Not to Buy the Faucet Yet
Here is the honest limit of this guide. If your listing does not state the hardware finish and an exact match matters to you, do not order the faucet first. A bathroom black vanity shows its metal more than a pale cabinet does, so a near-miss tone is easy to spot. Instead, wait for the vanity, hold your faucet choices against the real pulls, and order once you can see the tone. The Beaufort route also works here, because two hardware sets in the box let you settle the metal at home first. But if you guess early, you may pay to send a good faucet back for a small tone difference.

Questions
No. On every black model whose page covers the point, the listing states that the faucet is not included, so you buy it on its own. A few pages, like the Hepburn and the Luxeyard, do not state it either way. So check the product page for your model before you assume the box holds one, because most do not.
You still have two safe routes. You can wait until the vanity arrives and match the faucet to the real metal in your hand. Or you can check the product page again for your exact finish, because seven of the twelve black models leave the hardware finish unstated. Either way, do not guess the tone from a photo alone.
You can, because mixing metals is a taste call and not a fitting rule. Still, most people find one tone calmer, since black doors make every metal easy to see. If you do mix, keep the mix clear and repeat the second tone somewhere small, like a mirror frame. But if you want the safe route, match the faucet to the pulls.
