Brass Sundial - Large 230mm

A classic garden focal point that respects the sun (and your aesthetic).

Let’s be honest: you’re probably not checking a sundial to see if you’re late for a meeting. But in a world of digital everything, there is something deeply satisfying about tracking the day the way the ancients did—with solid brass and a bit of shadow play. It’s about adding interest, focus, and a touch of "lasting grace" to the garden.

Handmade right here in New Zealand using traditional casting techniques, this isn't just a garden ornament. It’s a functional piece of kit, specifically calibrated for the Southern Hemisphere. At a substantial 230mm diameter, it’s large enough to command a presence on a pedestal or nestled among the perennials.

For the truly devoted, the setup is a delightful little ritual. Find a shadow-free spot in your sanctuary and point the lowest part of the Gnomon (that’s the indicator) toward the North. To achieve peak accuracy, wait until the stroke of midday and rotate the dial until the shadow sits perfectly on the XII. There—you’re now officially synced with the solar system.

Whether it’s a treat for yourself or a gift for the person who already has every trowel ever made, this brass beauty is built for the long game.
