Vintage Copper Horse Weathervane

About the Item

This sculptural piece is a vintage copper horse weather vane, artfully displayed on a modern black metal stand. The figure captures a horse in mid-gallop, with fluid lines that convey movement and energy. The surface features a beautifully aged verdigris patina, the result of natural oxidation, which lends it a rich, mottled blue-green coloration accented by hints of rust and exposed copper. Originally designed to sit atop a barn or cupola, this weather vane has been repurposed as an interior decorative object, making it a striking blend of Americana and folk art. The silhouette is both rustic and elegant—ideal for display on a console, mantel, or bookshelf in spaces ranging from traditional farmhouse to eclectic modern.
