This 5 Diamond Banner Weathervane was originally designed to be mounted on a large barn in Maine. Our customer had a very distinct image of what he wanted and it was a lovely collaboration. It was our Oak Leaf Banner Weathervane that had inspired this customer, but in this instance Five Diamond Cutouts were requested, representing each member of the family. This five diamond theme was used throughout the property. After some pondering the local Eastern White Pine was chosen for the foliage element.

The construction of this all copper weather vane is swell-bodied. Each of the diamonds is emphasized with optional gold leaf, and a ‘lucky penny’ from each family member’s birth year is affixed above ‘their’ diamond cutout. The dated Token from the year of completion is attached to the finial globe. Along the upper edge of the wavy banner (another customer design request) is inscribed the family name and date.

We really love that this beautiful weather vane is a true family heirloom, on a property that in every way possible acknowledges that deep and loving connection.

Banners are very popular weathervane options, because they can say so much with small details, and are visually very distinct at a long range. If you’ve been considering something personal yet  ‘bannerish’ do scan our Banners catalog, and get back to us with your ideas.
