A smaller version of the classic roof-top weather vanes, the table top weather vane allows you to enjoy this traditional architectural detail up close and in person on a day to day basis. Though smaller than cupola weather vanes, table top weather vanes can still be formidable in size as some can be two feet tall and a foot and a half wide.

You will find table top weather vanes cast in brass or copper, though some may be fashioned from pewter or nickel.

Each table top weather vane is either polished or 'rusted' decoratively. Choose which will best accent not only the hardware in the room where it will be displayed but also the style of your décor.

Brass directionals are de rigueur for table top weather vanes, as are spacer balls.

Be sure that your table top weather vane has a solid, heavy base to keep it in place.

>Use your table top weather vane to decorate a desk or a mantle or put it to more functional use as a bookend of sorts.

Table top weather vanes come adorned with figures of everything from horses to airplanes to lighthouses to birds.
