Weathervanes & Mountings

Nothing adds a more personal finishing touch to your property's extension than a weathervane. The following lines illustrate the range available, however, if you do not see a design you are looking for please call, as anything is possible.

Available in Two Distinctive Styles

The Traditional
The Orbital

The Traditional

Each "Traditional" Original Forgery weathervane is manufactured by hand and based on designs from long ago. Each Cardinal assembly (NSEW) is made from 12mm solid bar, twisted along its length and finished top and bottom with a hand made scroll. These are then welded to the central hub which includes two locking collars to secure the cardinal to the mounting post. Each vane features a balanced motif/ arrow assembly measuring approximately 32" across. This pivots on a hardened ball bearing giving very free movement. The whole weathervane is then acid etched, zinc phosphate primed and finished with two coats of black eggshell paint.


The Orbital


The "Orbital" features a newly designed Cardinal (NSEW) assembly complemented by an upper and lower steel sphere. Made by hand this vane uses 5mm solid steel elements in its construction and like its "Traditional" brother uses two locking colars to secure it to the mounting post. Although this Cardinal is physically smaller than that used in "Traditional" both weathervane designs use the same size of motif. In addition to the acid etch, zinc phosphate and black eggshell finish, the spheres, arrow and flights are highlighted with copper patina to create a stunning weathervane.
