We always appreciate it when customers send in their beautiful weathervane installations with us. Recently we received a photograph from one of our valued customers showcasing their verdigris whale weathervane. It is fitted on a brick pillar, enhancing the rustic charm of the property
The natural verdgris patina of the whale which has taken on the greenish hue of verdigris gives a sense of timelessness and nostalgia. The way the weathervane complements the textures of both the brick and the wood demonstrates how well thought out the installation is to add a lovely feature to the outside space. What makes this particular install so captivating is its seamless integration with the other things in the garden and nature. Positioned in front of a dense cluster of bamboo plants the weathervane feels like an extension of the natural environment. The bamboo will enhance the sense of movement as the whale weathervane spins in the wind. The plants also provide a lush green backdrop that enhances and compliments the verdigris finish on the copper whale making it stand out without it being overpowering
The verdigris whale ability to turn in the wind adds a dynamic element to the installation constantly shifting to face the breeze and giving the area life and motion. This perfect blend of artistry and functionality allows the weathervane to serve both as a decorative focal point and a practical piece for gauging wind direction. Weathervanes have long been used to symbolise different aspects of life. In this case the whale represents strength, freedom, and a deep connection to the ocean. For our customer it may carry a personal meaning perhaps they love whales in particular or is a nod to coastal roots or a love for marine life. Whatever the significance the verdigris finish adds an antiquated weathered look giving the impression that this whale has weathered many seasons and will continue to do so for years to come
Complimenting the weathervane is a charming moose statue which we spotted sporting a welcoming sign at its base. Our customer has created a unique vignette that perfectly marries natural beauty with functional art using our verdigris whale weathervane as the centerpiece. We are incredibly proud to see how our products become a part of such thoughtful well designed spaces
