19th Century English Folk Art Copper Weathervane

19th century
Description

19th century English Folk Art copper weathervane

A wonderfully pure example of a late 19th century English Folk Art handcrafted copper weathervane. Made from hand beaten sectioned sheets of copper, rivetted and simply perfect in its naïve form. A piece of sculptural art in our opinion with its original wrought iron support stick still in place. The patination and naïve Folk Art form are what really makes this item special. An easily places object with lots of natural charm and decorative presence.

Size in inches: H 19” x W 27” x D 2.5” (excluding stand)

Origin: United Kingdom

Period: 1880

Material: Copper

Condition: Completely solid in structure and form, the sheet copper material has naturally aged over the years, a patina and rust are present in sections as shown in the photos. The stand is a simple wrought iron rod which positions into the base (this item does not stand alone). Its exceedingly difficult to photograph all the areas in this piece, therefore we strongly suggest reviewing all the photos provided as part of this advert and propose questions where sections are unclear to avoid disappointment.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Folk art weather vanes emerged as practical instruments to measure wind direction on agricultural and public buildings, evolving into distinct decorative crafts created by local metalsmiths during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Traditional weather vanes were commonly fashioned from sheet copper, wrought iron, or zinc, often utilizing repousse techniques to hammer metal into dimensional forms designed to withstand long-term weather exposure.

Authentic nineteenth-century pieces typically exhibit natural surface oxidisation, hand-riveted or soldered seam construction, and uneven wear patterns consistent with prolonged outdoor mounting.

Mounting a weather vane on a modern metal display stand allows it to function as a tabletop sculpture on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or bookshelf within a modern or rustic scheme.

Maintain copper items by dusting with a soft, dry cloth; avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive polishes that strip the natural verdigris patina accumulated over decades.
