Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
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.

Cockerel or rooster weathervanes have a long architectural tradition dating back to the IX century, frequently positioned atop church steeples, barns, and public buildings as symbols of vigilance and practical instruments for weather forecasting.

Traditional copper weathervanes were formed using repousse techniques, where sheet copper was hand-hammered into wooden moulds and subsequently joined along the central seam with rivets or solder to form a hollow three-dimensional figure.

Authentic period pieces display natural surface oxidation, verdigris patination, uneven hand-hammered indentations, and visible seaming techniques rather than modern cast or machine-stamped uniform finishes.

When mounted on a modern display base, an antique weathervane functions as an sculptural folk art object suitable for display on a console table, mantelpiece, or open shelving unit.

To preserve historic surface oxidisation and aged finishes, copper metalwork should be dusted gently with a soft dry cloth and kept free from abrasive chemical polishes or water treatments.
