A charming and highly sculptural antique copper pig weathervane, executed in a bold folk art silhouette and now professionally mounted on a custom iron base for tabletop or console display.
Hand-hammered and formed from sheet copper, the pig retains a richly weathered surface with deep brown tones and areas of natural verdigris throughout, developed through decades of outdoor exposure. The simple, graphic profile—accented by a curled tail, expressive ear, and incised facial detailing—exemplifies the naive craftsmanship and whimsy characteristic of late 19th-century American folk weathervanes.
The surface remains unpolished and untouched, preserving its original patina and honest wear. The weathervane has been stabilized and mounted on a discreet black iron stand, allowing it to be displayed as a sculptural object while maintaining its original integrity.
A rare and characterful decorative object, equally at home in a refined country interior or a more contemporary setting, offering warmth, humor, and authentic Americana.
