About the Item

A sculptural antique rooster weathervane fragment crafted in hand-cut copper, now mounted on a custom iron base for display. The rooster is rendered in a boldly stylized form, with an elongated neck, expressive comb, and deeply contoured body, retaining the strong graphic silhouette typical of early American and European weathervanes. The copper surface exhibits a richly layered patina developed over decades of outdoor exposure, with mottled verdigris, dark bronze, and warm brown tones throughout. Traces of weathering, oxidation, and surface variation remain visible, lending authenticity and depth while preserving the integrity of the original form. The arrow and directional elements are intact, further emphasizing its history as a functional rooftop object. Mounted on a minimalist iron base, the fragment has been thoughtfully stabilized for interior display while retaining its original character and proportions. The base provides a clean contrast to the organic surface of the copper, allowing the sculptural quality of the rooster to stand out. A rare and evocative architectural object, this piece works beautifully as a tabletop sculpture, console accent, or library display, bringing historic charm and sculptural presence to both traditional and modern interiors.
