Banner weathervanes are very popular. Their use actually dates back to the Middle Ages when copper vanes (also known as fanes) were often based on a family’s Coat of Arms. The Oak Leaf Banner weather vane above features a cutout of an oak leaf and two acorns with the cutouts used to create the “pointer” to the left of the banner. Interestingly, this vane makes use of negative space to help convey the image.
As you can see in the photos of one of these oakleaf weathervanes atop a tower at a San Francisco Bay Area shopping plaza, seeing the blue sky in the shape of the leaf and acorns makes for a very effective display. The architect with whom we worked on this project also had us fabricate a spun copper base below the banner rather than using the more traditional directionals (north, south, east, west arms) and copper globes. As you can see in the main photo, we do offer optional gold leaf on this weathervane.
We’ve also included a photo of our Oak Leaf weathervane. This is basically the same design motif that we used to create the Oak Leaf Banner weather vane but, in this case, the leaf and acorns have been made tangible. Again, this weathervane can be made with optional gold leafing on the acorn nut and/or oak leaf veins as is shown here.
If you like the concept, but would prefer a different combination (for example a redwood or pine tree and cones, a chestnut, almond, lemon, grape, etc), we always enjoy working with customers to create new weathervane designs. Please give us a call if you have an interest in mind! |
