• Antique Richard Melvin Garden Slate Sundial

• The overall size measures: 360mm x 355mm x 13mm Thick.
• Richard Melvin at this time was working mainly in Glasgow.

• We have only seen 3 of these in the many years of working in the trade.

• The one corner of the slate as been broken on the underside - this takes nothing away from this fantastic very rare item.
