Description
A rare Italian weathervane from the early 1900s, crafted from copper, featuring a refined three-dimensional structure depicting a pelican. The bird is interpreted with a simple yet highly effective formal language: its long beak, elegant neck, compact body, and webbed feet combine to create a highly decorative and instantly recognizable figure.
The almost sculptural rendering of the subject distinguishes this piece from simpler or flatter weathervanes, lending it a highly appealing presence even as a purely ornamental object. The lower portion retains the classic compass rose with the letters of the cardinal points, while the copper surface displays a natural antique patina, with burnished tones and oxidized green highlights that enhance its authenticity.
A decorative and architectural object of remarkable personality, ideal for collectors of weathervanes, folk art and antiques of original taste.
Dimensions: 65 x 65 x 110 cm.
