Americana Folk Art Painted Pennsylvania Barber’s Pole Anonymous Pennsylvania; mid-to-late 19th century Polychrome wood, iron Approximate size: 32.5 (h) x 2.75 (w) x 11.25 (d) This painted Pennsylvania barber's pole, dating from the early to mid-19th century, is a beautifully aged example of Americana folk art. The pole features the classic white and red striped design. Its surface displays a handsome patina, evidence of its age and history. The pole tapers elegantly towards both ends, culminating in weathered gold-painted finials. An iron arm allows for wall mounting along a framed edge with three screw holes present. Condition commensurate with age. Minor losses to the paint along surface areas. Overall solid and stable condition.

Large early American Antique Copper Bannerette Weather Vane
Located in Leesburg, VA
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. This rare and large American scrollwork bannerette weathervane recalls those produced by Jonathan Howard & Co. of West Bridgewater, MA. Further academic research may confirm or deny this possibility and an origin with J.W. Fiske & Co. of New York, shouldn’t be ruled out. Alternatively, this weathervane may also be an entirely independent work from the first half of the 19th century, steeped in the early genesis of weathervanes as an American folk art. This antique weather vane...
