The face carries the mottled, lichen-kissed patina of long outdoor life — grey deepening to charcoal in places, with soft mineral weathering across the surface. A rusted iron bracket holds it flush against the old limestone wall, the warm rust tones sitting naturally against the creamy, irregular stonework behind it. \n\nPatricia recalls that they found the sundial at the same source where they discovered the stone and marble kitchen sinks. “It’s a welcoming piece,” she says, “and it works!” Ideally mounted on a sunlit, south-facing garden wall or façade in the Northern Hemisphere, or a north-facing one in the Southern Hemisphere, it is both an attractive architectural feature and a functional timepiece.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age.\u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 19¾\" high x 19¾\" wide x 4\" thick  \u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 50cm high x 50cm wide x 10cm thick \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chez Pluie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54310834110802,"sku":"25407","price":1412.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1166\/6698\/files\/DSC01996_48f9f55d-ce11-4c5c-93be-50939f6d76a6.jpg?v=1787301512","url":"https:\/\/www.chezpluie.com\/products\/stone-sundial-w-weathered-patina-193-4-x-193-4","provider":"Chez Pluie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
