About the Item

19th Century New England Folk Art Schooner Weathervane, circa 1890, having a carved and painted wooden hull with bowsprit, spars and deck house; wooden masts with wire standing rigging; iron anchors; sheet metal main sail, American flag, and flat-cut sailor manning the helm. The schooner has great lines and style - very graceful sheer, nicely shaped clipper bow, that whimsical sailor at helm - and a great weathered patina. This type of weathervane was popular on the Massachusetts and Maine coasts. Mounted on a matte black base. The weathervane remains in strong and stable condition. There is of course the expected erosion from weather exposure, and the painted has worn and alligatored over the years, but all in a very pleasing manner. You have got to love the ubiquitous pot shots in the mainsail. Measures: 39-3/4 in H x 36-1/4 in L x 10-1/8 in W overall
