Since their creation in 48 B.C., weathervanes have been gracing the tops of church steeples, town halls, stately manors, and quaint cottages throughout the world. Among the wide array of weathervane designs, the arrow weathervane is one of the oldest and most popular.

If you are looking for a statement piece for your cupola, gazebo, roof, or garden, an arrow weathervane is an excellent choice. Let us point out a few of our favorite designs.

Banner style weathervanes were a common sight on barns and churches throughout the 1800s, incorporating two classic styles. During the Middle Ages, archers would rely on cloth pennants to determine wind direction. Eventually these pennants were made from metal to provide a more accurate reading. The word “vane” is actually derived from the Anglo-Saxon word “fane,” which means “flag.” Banner style weathervanes pay homage to these archers by combining a small metal pennant with an arrowhead that points into the wind.
