This Edwardian sundial pairs a turned stone pedestal with a solid brass dial. Standing 600mm tall, it works as both a garden focal point and a shallow birdbath.
The broad 480mm bowl catches rainwater, drawing garden birds for drinking and bathing. At its centre sits a brass sundial face with traditional hour markings and a raised gnomon. The cast stone pedestal features a classic baluster profile with a wide circular base for stability on paving or gravel.
Each sundial is hand-finished by Melmar's craftsmen in the UK. The cast stone develops a natural weathered patina over time, blending into established gardens. Frost-proof construction means it stays outdoors all year without cracking or flaking.
At £239 with free UK delivery, this sundial suits cottage gardens, formal borders, and courtyard settings. Position it where it catches direct sunlight for an accurate time reading throughout the day.
