For over 2000 years, weathervanes have been reliably indicating the direction
of the the wind in order to warn of impending storms or to predict fair skies
ahead. The Tower of Winds in Athens, Greece (48 BC), topped with its Triton
weathervane stands as one of the earliest archaeological examples.
During early American life, weathervanes played the important role of weathermen
while resting atop the homes and barns of farmers, ranchers, fishermen, and
pioneers. Today, skilled artisans use old world techniques to forge copper and
brass into traditional and contemporary functional works of art.
Our Estate Weathervanes are the perfect complement for larger homes, barns,
cupolas, and commercial buildings. They are handcrafted from copper and brass
by artisans with unmatched quality. Estate Weathervanes include estra-large brass
directionals, oversized copper spacer balls, and a rust-free stainless steel and brass
assembly rod.
