Monumental Full-Bodied Rooster Weathervane
Dimensions: 23" H x 24" W
A superb monumental full-bodied rooster weathervane, retaining an appealing early painted surface with traces of original gilding peeking through the time-softened patina. This sculptural piece displays excellent form, with a proud stance, arched tail, and finely detailed plumage that capture the essence of the bird in motion.
Presented on a custom stand, this weathervane reads as much as a piece of American folk sculpture as a functional object. The well-proportioned body and vibrant early paint lend it outstanding visual presence, making it a focal point for any collection.

Rooster weathervanes of this size and condition are increasingly scarce, and this example stands out for its strong surface, impressive scale, and striking folk art aesthetic.
