Personalised Inscriptions

Whether you’re buying a classic piece, or commissioning a bespoke one, your David Harber will be unique to you. If you would like to add a personalised inscription, we will work closely with you to make sure you get exactly what you want.

Sundials and Armillary Spheres

From brass sundials to stainless steel Armillaries, our custom sundials are perfect for personalisation and custom engraving. We’ve had family mottos, lines of poetry, family names and dates of birth, and distances and bearings in nautical miles for locations of personal significance.

Hydra

Lines of text can be added to two of the branches of Hydra sculptures. Engraved mottos in Latin and English, or fragments of prose or poetry work beautifully.

Engraved gifts

Popular with clients buying wedding gifts or retirement gifts, most of our sculptures can be personalised with bespoke etchings or engravings to create a more meaningful piece.

Mantle and Quill

Mantle and Quill sculptures can incorporate a few words on a discreetly located petal as a subtle mark of remembrance for a special someone or an important anniversary.

“We commissioned a sphere as a fitting memorial to a special man. My husband. And I wanted to say a final thank you to all your team who provided seamless expertise. The whole exercise has been exciting and a pleasure for me.”

Client, England.

Every sundial is made to order, and is unique to you. Our sundials and Armillary Spheres are working timepieces and we calibrate our spheres and dials precisely to their latitude and longitude. If you’re looking to place an order, email enquiries@davidharber.co.uk. Our team will take you through all the bespoke options available to ensure your personalised sundial will be a treasured keepsake for years to come.
