2D weathervanes

The cut-out weathervane is made from solid sheet, in zinc or copper, for a crisp silhouette that reads clearly against the light. In our workshop in Verdets, at the foot of the Pyrenees, each motif is drawn and then cut by hand.

The collection brings together the Gallic rooster, the cat and mouse, the affectionate cat, the stag, the winegrower, the carpenter, the mountain shepherd with his sheep, the ploughman, the Viking longship and the flag. The height is about 90 cm, a size that shows well on a house. Every weathervane comes with its cardinal points, to be set north when it is fitted; mounted on a spindle with a bearing, it turns and shows where the wind is blowing from.

It is fixed to the roof finial of your choice, or to a rod. A confident DIYer can fit it to an existing finial; for anything that affects the weatherproofing of the ridge, we recommend a roofer. See Delivery, lead times and fitting.

Zinc and copper carry a 10-year guarantee against corrosion. Pieces are made to order and dispatched within 7 working days. Have a motif in mind — a trade, an animal, a coat of arms, a logo? Send us a sketch or a photograph via the contact page, and we will propose a drawing and a quote.
