About the piece

Thirty-two points, struck deep enough to read with your thumb.

The compass rose is the oldest drawing on any chart, and the first thing a navigator learned to read. Ours is cut with thirty-two points, the full set of winds, with a faceted star at the center and a ring of graduated marks around the rim. The bronze is darkened in a bath, then the high points are relieved by hand with a cloth, one piece at a time. That is why no two look exactly alike, and why the relief only gets better as it is handled.

  • Struck in solid bronze, not plated zinc
  • Thirty-two point rose in high relief, faceted star at the center
  • Antique patina applied and relieved by hand
  • Reeded edge, numbered 001 to 750
  • Linen pouch and numbered card included

What comes in the box?

One Compass Rose medallion, numbered on the edge. Natural linen drawstring pouch. Numbered card that matches the piece. Rigid mailer, so it arrives flat and unmarked.
