Folk Metalcut Horse Weathervane

With a simple silhouette and rich surface texture, this early 20th century metal-cut weathervane is a charming example of American folk art. Adding a decorative touch to the topmost point of a building, weathervanes were an opportunity to tell a story and reassert a community's values. This rustic weathervane is in the form of a simple feathered arrow, topped by a proud steed charging in the direction of the wind. Elevated by a custom steel mount, this weathervane lives on as a storied folk sculpture and looks striking atop a cabinet or bookcase.
