ENGLISH STONE SUNDIAL

A striking late 18th century carved York stone sundial with distinctive wrought iron gnomon. The three tiered stone top with carved Roman numerals and dated 1790 sits on an elegant balustrade base.

Dating back hundreds of years, sundials were originally used by ancient philosphers and scientists to track the pathways of celestial bodies and as a way of telling time. Today they make for ideal focal points in either traditional or contemporary garden settings.
