The Persian Cat weathervane featured here is a variation on our original Cat and Hummingbird weathervane. One of our customer’s saw the original version and liked it but wanted her weathervane to look like her Persian cats. We put inscriptions on either side of the horizontal tube with her cat’s names. She chose translucent blue glass eyes although, because we make each weathervane to order, our customers can select from a variety of colors include topaz, green, emerald and blue. We also included “lucky” pennies from the year each of her cats was born. The reeds and flower were made in brass and the cat and hummingbird were made in copper although we work with each customer to determine what metals they would like used in their weathervane.
The thumbnailed images of the Persian Cat weathervane show another variation on this particular design. In this case, our customer had a beautiful white Persian cat so we used gold leaf to mimic its coloration. We can also use nickel silver or Palladium to create a more silvery effect, if desired. We made her cat with topaz colored eyes and we personalized the vane further by substituting a tree branch for the reeds, flower and hummingbird. Her weathervane was mounted atop a 35 foot tall flag pole.
As is true with all our designs, you can see that personalizing one of our weathervanes is certainly possible. If you have something special in mind, please give us a call or drop us an email and we would be happy to discuss what would be involved in making a one-of-a-kind weathervane for you.
The trinomial name of the domestic cat is Felis silvestris catus. Its closest pre-domesticated ancestor is believed to be the African wild cat, Felis silvestris lybica.[1] Humans have developed several dozens breeds of cat, in a variety of colours.
Cats have lived in close association with humans for at least 9,500 years. Legends and myths about the cat exist in many cultures, from the ancient Egyptians and Chinese to the Vikings. They have been both revered and vilified by different cultures. |

Persian & Westie Weathervane Customer Photos
|
The Westie & Cat photos were sent to us by a customer in Athens, Greece. We literally created portrait sculptures of both his cat and dog, matching their unique markings with the addition of gold leaf. As you can see, he mounted his new weathervane on a deck railing just outside their living room. Here is an excerpt from the note they sent us along with the photos. “I' m sending you some photos of the weathervane placed in our new house. It has been the trademark of the neighborhood. All our friends are asking where did we find it and who did this remarkable item. We are very proud of it because our house is unique thanks to your beautiful creation. I gave your address to my friends and probably you will have some more e-mails from Athens in the future. What else can I say I am, and my wife too, very lucky to know you and it is not just a decorative thing this weathervane.”
