Solid Brass Swan Sundial 10" Dia. (#2338)
The solid brass design is based on the Art Nouveau tile, “Swans and Iris” by 19th century British artist, Walter Crane. Features a beautiful gnomon with cattails rising from the water.
The finish is a beautiful hand rubbed aged patina. The dial is hand buffed & polished which will make for variances in the antiquing and patina from one sundial to another and are normal attributes of our artisan crafted sundials.
This 10” diameter sundial is made by Rome Industries using the ancient art of sand casting. To cast the dial, an impression of the sundial pattern is made into high quality sand designed specifically for brass casting. Molten brass is then poured into a hole in the sand that fills the mold. After cooling, the sand surrounding the sundial is removed and the finishing process begins. This brass dial will requires no care to further develop its own rich natural verdigris patina finish over the years. Brass does not rust and is a perfect material for heirloom quality garden art.
This sundial is designed for all Rome sundial pedestal bases, which are sold separately.
