The composition features a volumetrically modeled hull, a central mast, unfurled sails, guy ropes, and a small flag at the top, elements that give the piece a strong nautical and decorative character. Compared to simpler, two-dimensional weathervanes, this piece stands out for its almost sculptural quality, transforming a functional object into a truly spectacular presence. The compass rose with cardinal letters completes the ensemble, recalling the piece’s original function. The copper surface retains a natural antique patina, with burnished and oxidized nuances that underscore its authenticity, age, and material charm. Ideal for collectors of nautical antiques, folk art, and architectural decorative objects. Dimensions: 80 x 80 x 120 cm. See less
