Iron Sundials – New Salem Sundial

Sundials – New Salem Sundial

The flapping wings of the hourglass tell of time's hurried pace. Inscription is Browning's "Grow old along with me, the best is yet to be." Cast iron became the alternative material and was responsible for the first garden art to be mass-produced for the middle class. Some of our dials are painted with a verdigris finish and then lacquered to stave off each sundial to prevent oxidation, but these dials will eventually rust. We also make a few dials that are pre-rusted and then given a little bit of a whitewash finish.
