Made to last
Polished copper softens to a warm brown, then over the years to the green verdigris you see on old church roofs. That’s genuine copper doing what it does. A clear lacquer slows it down.
Each figure is formed from copper sections and brazed together by hand. You may see the joins. They’re the mark of something made by hand, not a fault.
The N, S, E and W letters are cast brass. The rod and bracket are steel with an exterior powder coat. A coat of Hammerite every few years keeps them looking smart.

M Reynolds · Landing duck weathervane
First class personal service. Nothing too much trouble. Our New England style verdigris copper whale weather vane is of exceptional high quality finish at the very best price.
Malcolm Thorne · Verdigris whale weathervane
It was easy to order online and the different designs available for the mini ones were great. It arrived well packed and recently installed.
Louise Worek · Oakley weathervane
Fast delivery, and exactly as described but so much better in person. easy to install, really pleased.
Melissa · Trustpilot review
Sheds, garages, gazebos, workshops, summerhouses, fence posts and smaller homes. They’re proportioned for buildings where a full-size farmhouse weathervane would look too big.
The 5″ eave bracket fixes to a wall, fascia or gable end. The post bracket fixes to the top of a fence or gazebo post. You get one of these free, whichever you choose. A roof mount straddles a pitched ridge, and a garden pole stands in a lawn or border.
Not forever. Outdoors it softens to a warm brown and, over the years, to a green verdigris. A clear lacquer slows this down but won’t stop it. If you want the aged look from day one, choose the verdigris finish.
Compare the height above with your roofline and think about where you’ll see it from. Or send us a photo of your building and we’ll suggest a size.
