A weathered copper angel weathervane comprising of a winged angel figure playing a musical instrument, a large directional arrow, NSEW cardinal points and decorative copper globes. The angel fly’s and moves in the wind along with the arrow which points to the cardinal point to show the direction of the wind. It is a fantastic looking weathervane with excellent detail and craftsmanship

The angel weathervane will add a unique finish to any building, garden or structure making a stunning focal point and feature. In modern times the terms angel, cherub, putti, cupid, Eros and Amorini tend to describe similar forms of sculpture and are used quite interchangeably. All could describe this weathervane as the theme could tie in with Victorian or Edwardian architecture or perhaps Greek or Roman art. You also find that angels and cherubs feature heavily in Christian art

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

• 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
