Early 20th Century Weather Vane Pig Copper Three-Dimensional, Italy
Early 20th Century Weather Vane Pig Copper Three-Dimensional, Italy

Early 20th Century Weather Vane Pig Copper Three-Dimensional, Italy

Located in Nicolosi, IT

Charming early 20th century Italian weather vane in copper, featuring a finely executed three-dimensional pig subject with a beautifully aged natural patina. This sculptural weather vane stands out for its whimsical and lively design, depicting a pig in motion, captured in an energetic running or leaping pose. The animal is rendered with appealing volume and character: the elongated snout, raised ear, rounded body, stretched legs and distinctive curled tail give the piece a strong sense of movement and personality. Unlike flatter and more conventional weather vanes, this example has a true sculptural quality, making it both a functional directional object and a highly decorative piece. The lower section retains the traditional directional letters and central rotating shaft, while the copper surface shows a rich time-worn patina with dark brown and green oxidized tones. This aged finish enhances the historical presence of the piece and emphasizes its early craftsmanship. A rare and evocative architectural ornament, ideal for collectors of folk art, antique weather vanes...

This is an early Russian orthodox travelling Icon, hand made of bronze, which we date to 18th Century or earlier. The bronze icon is cast with a main rectangular slightly curved shape with a smaller rectangular tab section above. The reverse has a hanging spigot cast into the top tab section. This piece has a mix of colours within the bronze with the high points being worn and shiny from wear and use. This antique bronze icon probably depicts Saint Nicholas as the central image with other figures ( children?) either side of the head, all within a border. There are other details on the icon including letters and numbers towards the top of the main rectangle. The tab section is also decorated. The reverse also carries decoration but is quite worn. Overall an early and very interesting Russian bronze Icon...

Vintage, New and Antique Folk Art

Folk art refers to a genre of art that shares the creator’s traditions, offering not just an artistic display but an opportunity to learn about a culture. Vintage, new and antique folk art typically reflects a heritage or location. It can include utilitarian objects and handmade art as diverse as weather vanes, portraiture and paintings, carnival art, quilts and duck decoys.

American folk art is frequently valued because of the traditional skills involved, like weaving, hand-carving wood and even stonework. Many folk artists are self-taught, while some train as apprentices within their community. By using available materials and taking a personal approach to their creations, artists ensure each piece is unique and conveys a story. Native American folk art includes functional objects reflecting their heritage, such as baskets, textiles and wooden pieces.

During the Great Depression, artistic materials in America were hard to come by, so artisans used discarded wood from cigar boxes and shipping crates to make highly stylized, notched pieces — most often picture frames and boxes — that are today sought after by collectors. This folk art style is called tramp art and was popular from roughly 1870 until the 1940s.

Folk art brings vibrant culture and traditions into your home. Browse an extensive collection of folk art on 1stDibs.
