The Fisherman & Dory weather vane featured in this image consists of a copper dory and rain gear. The Fisherman's face and hands and the oars are done in brass. Because our vanes are made to order, the choice of metals can be modified at the time an order is placed.
An attractive option is to add gold leaf to the vanes. On this particular design it looks really nice to gold leaf the fisherman's face, hands and the oars. The gold will stay bright and shiny for many years. Even antique weather vanes one hundred years old (or even older) can show traces of originally applied gold leaf. When copper and brass are first put outside, they will generally weather a deep chocolate brown color. The gold makes a rich contrast against the darker metal. Once the copper or brass have weathered green, the contrast with the gold leaf is especially lovely.
