BCC Banner Weathervane
Our BCC Banner Weathervane is a handcrafted copper silhouette banner designed to create a strong architectural profile against the sky. Its elongated horizontal form combines the traditional character of a banner weathervane with custom detailing developed for the particular building or setting in which it will be displayed.
Handcrafted in copper by SkyArt Studio & Gallery, each BCC Banner Weathervane is individually fabricated with careful attention to proportion, balance, detail, and durability. The silhouette construction produces a crisp, recognizable profile while durable metals are incorporated into the fabrication where needed for strength and long-term outdoor use.
Banner weathervanes have a long history in architectural ornament. Historic examples ranged from simple flags and directional forms to elaborate banners incorporating lettering, dates, symbols, pierced details, and decorative devices. The Smithsonian Institution’s collections include material documenting the history and variety of American weathervanes, including banners, arrows, and other traditional forms.
The BCC Banner Weathervane continues this tradition as a handcrafted architectural piece. Its long horizontal silhouette gives the design excellent visibility from the ground while allowing decorative elements to become an integral part of the overall form.
The proportions and details of the banner can also be adapted to complement the architecture on which it will be displayed. This makes the form particularly suitable for custom work in which dimensions, lettering, dates, symbols, decorative details, or other design elements are developed for a particular building or setting.

The BCC Banner Weathervane comes with our standard assembly, including two copper balls, brass retainer rings, a brass directional set, and stainless-steel mast. We use high-quality materials and components throughout the assembly with an emphasis on durability, proper function, and long-term outdoor performance.
The finish can be customized in faux bronze, verdigris, or 23-karat gold leaf. Natural copper is also available and will gradually develop its own distinctive patina through exposure to the elements.
SkyArt Studio & Gallery can assist with proper sizing, installation questions, and custom design requirements for the BCC Banner Weathervane. Diagrams or schematics can also be provided when coordination with contractors or other installation professionals is required, helping ensure that the finished weathervane is appropriately scaled and installed for its architectural setting.
