Solid Brass Happiness Sundial (#2303)

The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here" reads the life affirming motto on this sundial. The words are enveloped by a block print style floral design that gives a traditional feeling to the sundial. The bold yet simple gnomon is a tasteful complement to the dial face.

This 11.75" (measured diagonally)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 finish features a beautiful hand-rubbed aged patina. Each brass dial is individually hand buffed and polished, resulting in natural variations in the antiquing and finish from one sundial to another.

The brass tones and patina in the photos also naturally vary in appearance depending on lighting conditions and environment. Studio photography may show deeper blue verdi or richer tones, while natural outdoor sunlight can reveal brighter green verdi highlights and softer contrast. 

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.
