About the Item

Rooster weathervane naturally aged with several layers of old paint over zinc (ca. early 20th Century, Germany). Though multiple colors are detectable, most notably the rooster is gold with a red comb on one side and red legs/claws on the reverse. Newly mounted to a vintage white-painted wood platform, but can be dismantled from the base for cupola mounting via the 'cap' base of the weathervane itself. There is a dent to the ball, as shown, along with general wear commensurate with age/use. The platform shows light scuffs and paint losses, as photographed. Mounted - H: 32.75" x L: 9.75" x D: 8" Height without platform: 20.88" Platform alone - H: 12.38" x L: 6" x D: 6"
