About the Item

This is a very highly animated and extremely well constructed, early 19th century sheet iron weathervane. Please do look at the detailed images. The construction and surface are absolutely extraordinary. The patina is an art all into its own. Symbols of Griffin drinking from glasses have been used as a design element for thousands of years. This item is not only hand cut sheet iron but has a skeletal structure on the back side of wrought iron. This item would be absolutely beautiful displayed within the home, and for those are the more eccentric taste, can rest assured that do to the construction of this item and its state of preservation, that they could reinstate it outside as the Weathervane for which it was originally intended. Should you have any additional questions please do not hesitate to reach out and ask. Thank you for your consideration.

Large early American Antique Copper Bannerette Weather Vane

Large early American Antique Copper Bannerette Weather Vane

Located in Leesburg, VA

Large early American Antique Copper Bannerette Weather Vane Possibly J. Howard & Co. First-half of the 19th century; Northeastern, USA Copper, iron Approximate size: 24 (h) x 55 (w) x 1 (d) in.
