Great Late 19th, Early 20th Century Weathervane

What a stunning piece of original American Folk Art! Recently purchased at the Brimfield Mass. Antique Show, the dealer who sold it to us reported it came from a New Hampshire estate, and was uncovered in an early carriage barn.

As you can see the form of the piece is the silhouette of an early uniformed soldier, complete with a sword in this hand and a period hat. From the construction, the piece dates to the turn of the century, possibly a little earlier. Considering the form of the solider both the dealers who we acquired it from and ourselves agreed it was probably on the lodge of an organization like the Son\'s of the American Revolution.

From it\'s decades exposure to the elements the piece has a wonderful, dry oxidized surface with remains of grey and black paint contrasted wonderfully with a slightly pitted surface. There is one small hole on the body of the piece, likely from a small bullet shot, though overall the vane is in very good+ condition and structurally sound.

The piece measures an impressive 30 1/2" in length, and about 23" wide.

As such the piece would make a commanding display as a piece of folk art constrasted in a home against a wall.

Take a moment to click on the individual images and you can see further details of the piece and the great period blacksmith made construction.

This is another piece that really needs to be seen in person and held to guage the great quality and original condition and surfacing.

Just a gem of early folk art offered for only five days on sale and sold without reserve.
