Solid Brass Gardeners Reflection Sundial 10" Dia. (#2325)
This solid brass sundial featuring a quote from Mahatma Gandhi that truly speaks to the soul about what it means to be a gardener. "To forget how to dig the earth and to tend the soil is to forget ourselves" reads the dial motto. Features a beautiful arts and crafts era floral centerpiece.
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.
The sundial is given a two-tone antique finish that has a nice contrast between the verdigris of the flat & recessed parts of the dial with the polished letters and raised features. The finish is hand buffed & polished which will make for slight variances in the antiquing and polishing from one sundial to another and are normal attributes of our artisan crafted sundials.
This brass dial will requires no care to further develop a rich natural verdigris patina finish over the years. Brass does not rust and is a perfect material for heirloom quality garden art.
