The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Historically, weather vanes served both functional weather-forecasting purposes and visual trade advertisement. Blacksmiths and farriers mounted custom silhouette vanes featuring horses and metalworking tools atop workshops to signal their services to passing trade.

18th and 19th-century weather vanes were predominantly constructed from hand-forged wrought iron, cut sheet iron, cast zinc, or hammered copper. Wrought iron pieces featured hand-riveted joints and cut silhouettes crafted by local metalworkers.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural surface oxidisation, uneven patination from long-term weather exposure, and hand-worked construction details such as forge welds or iron rivets rather than modern electric welds.

Architectural weather vanes are frequently mounted on custom metal or wooden bases for display on sideboards and mantels, or secured flat to walls as focal sculptural folk art pieces.

To preserve stable oxidisation without damaging historical patination, gently brush off loose surface debris with a soft bristle brush and apply a microcrystalline wax coating to seal the metal against moisture.
