Brass Sundials
Brass is used because it's a material without compromise. As with bronze,
brass is a favored medium by artisans throughout the world.
For a moderate price, brass gives us an heirloom quality
sundial that we can trust will last for centuries. Naturally
non-rusting, brass requires no upkeep. Simply let it age
gracefully in the garden where it will, overtime, develop a
lovely patina finish.

Most of the brass designs have a two-toned finished with
polished brass highlights over a darker patina background.
This gives the sundial an aged look with a hint of sparkles
from the polished areas.
