Yes, because it is made of solid brass, the sundial will naturally develop a rich, dark patina as it is exposed to the elements. This weathering process is expected and adds to the piece's antique, historical character.

No, this product is the sundial face only. It is designed to fit onto most standard pedestal bases, allowing you to choose a mount that best complements your specific garden or patio aesthetic.

Absolutely. The solid brass construction is inherently weather-resistant and durable, making it suitable for permanent outdoor installation in most climates without needing to be brought inside during winter.

To function properly, the gnomon—the triangular piece that casts the shadow—must be aligned with true north. Once you have secured the sundial to your pedestal, you may need to rotate the entire base slightly until the shadow aligns with the correct time during the day.
