As a beloved symbol of the sea, the compass rose, sometimes called a windrose, has quickly become a highly sought piece to decorate in ancient nautical style and bring a taste of the ocean home! This 26 inch diameter, 1.25 inch deep metal compass rose features a vintage timeworn finish for an aged effect, and is ready to hang anywhere you want to direct only the best kind of attention! The original compass rose points to the 8 named winds that previously guided sailing ships at sea, now it can be found on compasses, maps and monuments, too. This compass star wall hanging can be enjoyed at home or the office, and is great as a gift any nautical nut is sure to admire!
