EDIT: Here's my 2nd attempt. I was not happy with the front face in front of the aerator on the first attempt. New images uploaded below. Rendered in KeyShot.

Hi Stragazer,
I've used Network command together with set of curves.
Hope this helps.

Hi neilwilson3412,
thank you very much for your kind words.
I wasn't sure from attached photo, if front surface of mixer is flat or curved, but it seems from another photo
https://www.sinkwarehouse.com.au/products/fiona-basin-mixer-black/, that surface is flat, therefore i decided to use that procedure, only as an exercise, but it exists more than one solution of course.
I like the Ed's attempt.
Ciao

"... but it seems from another photo

That's a much better photo and line drawing. On the original silver photo I was seeing slight curvatures, which made the front face more complex to model.
