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...

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.
