Copper Weather Vane
Copper weathervane: the artistic revolution of an age old instrument
Copper weathervanes are beautiful instruments that are used to determine the direction that the wind is coming from or going to. It has been used for centuries in farming and seafaring, and has more recently received an exciting twist: each copper weathervane is beautifully crafted and topped with an artistic rendition of traditional images. This artistic revolution is heralding the latest trend to personalize functional items in the home.
What exactly is the function of the weather vane?
Weathervanes are used to determine the direction of the source of the wind. The top bit that is artistically designed is the pointer. Most people choose cockerels to sit atop their weathervanes, which would explain the other name for weathervanes: “wind cocks”. Arrows also used to be a popular choice, but now you can have almost anything to point out the wind.
A fun side of the copper weather vane
Copper weather vanes are still hand crafted in the age old style of weather vane making, handed down from generation to generation, but now they have a fun side. You can choose the pointer at the top to resemble any one of a hundred (and more) designs that are each top quality and top performance.
