  This section is intended to help you select the right size weathervane for the existing cupola. Although the weathervane selection usually is based on personal likes or some other reason like location or property history, the proper size weathervane should be proportionate to the cupola as the cupola is to the existing roofline. Should you have any questions, please contact us. We would be delighted to give you some additional options

Full-Bodied Copper Weathervanes (continued)

  • Dimensions shown are for the figures only
  • Most weathervanes are available in both antique or polished copper finish
  • Antique finish is a chemical oxidized process that steps up the aging process. Over a short period of time, natural greening and aging will take place. Since this is a chemical process, our antique finish will tend to vary from a dark brown to green patina. In time, the natural patina will appear
  • Polished finish will gradually oxidize with age. Natural aging will take place. Time will vary depending on location and weather conditions. Example: if you are located near salt water, the water in the air is an aging factor. The closer the weathervane is to salt water, the faster it will begin to oxidize. Spraying your weathervane with a clear lacquer finish will result in delaying the oxidized state to appear. Recommend at least 3 coats of a clear lacquer or clear coat for cars. Please do not use any poly resins. In time, the poly will break down. Again, your location and weather conditions will play a role in aging your weathervane
  • Weathervane figures can be purchased separately for use over a fireplace, on a bookcase or a wall. Please use our #402 Americana base or #587B brass wall bracket. Please deduct $30.00 from our published weathervane price to determine the price of the weathervane figure
  • Full-Size weathervanes can also be displayed indoors as an accent piece in a study, office or den. Whether you use our #582 cast iron base, #588 brass displays or even our #585H wall bracket, your weathervane will add elegance to your room
  • Another way to display our weathervanes is with our #403R yard / garden pole. Your weathervane can be the focal point in your yard or garden using this pole accessory
  • No matter where you wish to display our weathervane, Colonial Collections has a mounting accessory to help you. Please review our Full Size Weathervane Accessory page
  • Weathervanes / Cupolas: our cupolas have built in weathervane supports so that no mounting brackets are needed. For cupolas with bases larger than 20", an extension rod is needed for the weathervane. See our cupola section for a vast selection of designs and sizes
