Company

Over 7 years ago, our Uncle Fred began selling these wonderful vintage weathervanes throughout the North Georgia mountains. Uncle Fred’s weathervanes were exquisite creations, each a masterpiece in its own right. The Nobles family, the founders of Vintage Vanes, was captivated not only by their aesthetic beauty but also by their intricate craftsmanship.

The family could not shake the feeling that these weathervanes deserved a wider audience. The family decided was to bring the art of weathervane making, as embodied by Uncle Fred’s success across the Blue Ridge, to all lovers of craftsmanship across the nation. With Uncle Fred’s blessings and guidance, Vintage Vanes was born.

In Madison, Georgia, where the past and present coexisted in perfect harmony, Vintage Vanes stands as part of the town’s enduring commitment to craftsmanship, artistry, and the preservation of history.

Manufacturing Process



Each weathervane is a labor of love, handcrafted by skilled artisans who have perfected their craft. Custom molds are first hand designed, then custom made to bring a myriad of beautiful and diverse creations to life, catering to the discerning tastes of customers everywhere.

From graceful birds taking flight to majestic horses galloping in the wind, Vintage Vanes offered a range of weathervane designs that capture the imagination. Each piece is a fusion of artistic expression and functional utility, a testament to the enduring allure of these timeless creations.

Shipping & Returns

Here is the good news!  As part of our commitment to our customers at Vintage Vanes, the company has decided to not charge any fees associated with shipping.  There is nothing worse than exorbitant shipping charges so we are working to keep it simple once you have selected your weathervane or wallmount. We only ask for your patience as we work to get your beautiful weathervanes or wallmounts safely to your home.

Our goal is to get you the weathervane within 2 calendar weeks or 14 days from time of your initial order.  Each weathervane should have an estimated shipping date under the item description.  This is the date or timeline for us to get your beautiful weathervane on a UPS truck.   We work hard to keep most of the popular weathervanes in stock at one of our Georgia warehouses.  If they are in stock, we will typically be able to get your weathervane shipped out via UPS and standard ground within 5-7 days of receiving your order. 

If the product is not in our warehouse due to high demand from our customers, we will update the estimated shipping date on our website under each item description. If it needs to be custom made, the worse case scenario will probably still be under 60 days from our manufacturing floor to your front door.

You will get an email confirmation of your order with an expected time of delivery from our company. If there are any issues with your order, we will always work to be proactive to keep you in the loop regarding your purchase. Again, our goal is for you to be 100% happy with your purchase.
