Cast Iron Garden Sundial with Roman Numerals

Description

This one’s a bit of a keepsake — a vintage-style sundial from the US brand Esschert. It’s made of solid cast iron, so it’s sturdy and holds up well outside. The design is classic Victorian, with hours marked in Roman numerals, which makes it look more elegant than just a plain timepiece. It’s not super accurate, but it’s fun to watch the sun move across it and see how the shadow shifts through the day. Dimensions are about 26.5 x 34.7 x 29.5 cm — big enough to stand out in the garden but not too bulky. I’ve had it in my garden in Cleator, Cumberland for years, and it’s actually become a bit of a landmark for me. It’s not super precise, but it’s a nice little piece that adds a bit of character to the space. I’ve been using it mostly as a conversation starter — people always stop and ask about it. It’s still in great condition, no damage, just a bit of patina from the weather. I’m not sure how much it’s worth, but it’s definitely not just a decorative thing — it’s a real nod to old-school timekeeping. If you're into garden decor or vintage pieces, it might spark a little nostalgia. I’ve got a few other things I’ve been meaning to part with — feel free to check those out too.
