Lovebird Weathervane & Details
The Love Bird weather vane featured here is one of our more delicate designs. Both Love Birds and the cherry blossom petals featured here have been gilded to create a nice contrast with the tree branch. If you click on one of the detailed images, you can see that this particular customer requested that both birds have different colored translucent glass eyes. This weathervane looks lovely in a garden setting. Customers have also displayed it on gazebos and turrets.
This weathervane makes a wonderful anniversary gift. There is a tradition that dates back to the Victorian Age that when you make a handmade copper weathervane, just before you seal the final seam, you slip a copper penny inside the sculpture piece for good luck. Traditionally, the penny included was one from the year it was made. Sometimes you can still find old copper weathervanes that have an Indian head copper penny inside that was put there over a century ago! Since we make each weathervane to order, if you’d like, we can put copper pennies from the year the couple got together in one Love Bird and put a penny from the year the anniversary is being celebrated in the other. We can even blend a special inscription into the tree branch to celebrate the occasion!
This weathervane design is ideal for illustrating a point about sizing a weathervane for your situation. While the overall sculpture piece featured here is three feet long, each of the birds is only about 14” tall. Compared with something like a three-foot Grizzly Bear weather vane, it has a smaller presence when viewed from a distance. In some cases, while a two-foot grizzly bear weathervane might be perfectly sized for a given location, if the Love Birds were your choice, you might want to consider ordering it in the larger three-foot size.
