This Hot Air Balloon Weathervane, Triple design was commissioned after the customer saw our Single Hot Air Balloon Weathervane (see photo above left). She lives in Vermont and wanted a Hot Air Balloon Weathervane featuring three distinctly different balloons to give as a birthday gift to her boyfriend. She sent us photos of his balloons and we used them to create this weathervane. We used optional gold leafing to match the markings on his balloons. We also made a version for the owner of a Hot Air Balloon company in the wine country of Northern California.
Each weathervane is made to individual order so it is possible for us to personalize the balloon's design to reflect that of the balloon owner. We are able to make these beautiful weathervanes using, palladium, copper, brass or with optional gold leaf.
The hot air balloon is the oldest successful human-carrying flight technology. It is in a class of aircraft known as balloon aircraft. On November 21, 1783, in Paris France, the first untethered manned flight was made by Jean-Francois Pilaire de Rozier and Francois Laurent d'Arlandes in a hot air balloon created on September 14, 1782 by the Montgolfier brothers. Hot air balloons that can be propelled through the air rather than just being pushed along by the wind are known as airships or, more specifically, thermal airships.
