This Dragon on Top of the World Weathervane was commissioned by a daughter as a birthday present for her mother. It was to be displayed inside the home where her elderly mother could delight in the whimsy of it at all times. It was fun working with her on this design. We love her choice of bright blue glass eyes for her dragon, it makes for a certain serenity. And her inscription of ‘Favorite Person in All the World’ is so tender, from a daughter to her Mom.

Our master artisans crafted this copper sculpture piece in Swell-Bodied style. It is a mirror image, meaning it faces both ways. Optional gold leaf was requested for details on the dragons body, wings, and spines on the tail. Palladium leaf was chosen for the world’s oceans. These bright spots will be very fun and eye catching as the copper naturally ages and darkens, even indoors.

There are ‘Lucky Pennies’ inside the sculpture from important years in the family’s life together. All in all, just a really sweet piece, and an heirloom with wonderful memories going forward. Our customers are all so great. It is an honor to work with them to create a sculpture piece of deep significance!
