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.
