Description
This is a pure copper goose weathervane that is professionally aged to a verdigris patina, giving a weathered and retro appearance.
Take a gander at this amazing copper goose weathervane which captures a goose in flight. The goose weathervane figure has impressive sculptural qualities with the body, wings, feathers, face and bill nicely defined to create an excellent, high quality weathervane with intricate detail. This one with the special genuine aged verdigris appearance helps make it a great candidate for various settings where an aged and more authentic goose weathervane is more desirable
The goose has a large wingspan and looks impressive as it turns and flys in the wind to show which direction the wind is blowing. It creates an impressive and imposing feature perfect for all kinds of roofs and structures to brighten up the garden or outdoor space. It would be a perfect feature or gift idea for those that love geese, wildfowl, waterfowl or perhaps live near a body of water such as a pond or lake or maybe keep geese at a farm
We was surprised to find out there are many species of Geese to be found worldwide and also there is a popular outdoor weather brand called Canada Goose

The Verdigris weathervanes are pure copper that is naturally aged outside at our workshop\yard to develop a lovely natural aged green Verdigris patina. We have many weathervanes aging at different stages on a staggered schedule. and many batches become available for sale at several points in the year. All age at different rates and no two look completely the same so it creates a stunning individual weathervane that has a magnificent aged and traditional appearance
Weathervane Rod
The weathervane rod that fits into the bracket is 19.5mm diameter steel tubing that is treated with a durable exterior black powdercoat paint
Standard Bracket
Each weathervane is supplied with a standard 125mm (5 inch) eaves bracket. Other brackets and fixings are available (see Brackets & Fixings tab for more details)
Features
• Easy to assemble and install (including step by step instructions)
• Includes everything you need to construct the weathervane: Steel rod, NSEW directionals, verdigris copper globes and weathervane figure
• Exclusive Single Point Contact design allows the weathervane to spin freely in the wind
Construction
• Copper: The weathervane designs are handcrafted from pure copper and brazed. Brazing may be visible on some designs but doesn't tend to lessen the beauty of the lovely copper weathervane design. Globes and spacers are also made from pure copper, the copper over time has naturally aged to a Verdigris patina
• Brass: Cast brass is used for the NSEW cardinal points on the range of copper weathervanes
• Steel: Rods and brackets to mount the copper weathervanes are made from steel. The steel is treated with a durable exterior black powdercoat paint. The finish should be good for a reasonable amount of time out in the elements but in time if the steel rods and brackets weather they can be painted with an exterior metal paint such as Hammerite which restores the finish and will help preserve and extend the life of the fittings. Clear mastic can also be used on any joints for example where the rod is inserted and secured into the bracket to seal and further weatherproof and prolong the life of the steel bracket and rod
