Piers Nicholson Sundials
Piers Nicholson has been designing and selling scientific stainless steel sundials since 2002 He was 74 years old when he started, and now, having sold overe 200 of these beautiful eye-catching sundials, he has decided to retire . Old age, the impact of Covid on demand, minimum order sizes on stainless steel, and declining steel quality have turnedd a business which started as a joy into one with endless hassles. I had hoped to fsind someone interested in sundials to take over the stainless steel, but without success
I still have a small stock of 15 cm. stainless steel sundials, suitable for indoor windowsills or for small gardens. They are available for imeediate despatch.
Also available are four universal polar dials in brass, which can be adjusted to suit any laetititude.
