Description: A classic turn-of-the-century sundial with Browning's poem, "Grow old along with me, the best is yet to be." This saying was famously put to music by John Lennon and is a popular sentiment for weddings and anniversaries. This 11.5” diameter sundial is made by Rome Industries using the ancient art of sand casting. An impression of the sundial pattern is made into high-quality sand designed specifically for brass casting to cast the dial. Molten brass is then poured into a hole in the sand that fills the mold. After cooling, the sand surrounding the sundial is removed, and finishing begins. The sundial is given a two-tone antique finish that contrasts the verdigris of the flat and recessed parts of the dial and the polished letters and raised features. The finish is hand-buffed and polished, making for slight variances in the antiquing and polishing from one sundial to another. These are typical attributes of our artisan-crafted sundials. This brass dial will require no care to develop a rich natural verdigris patina further finish over the years. Brass does not rust and is a perfect material for heirloom-quality garden art.
