Rare Italian wind vane from the early 1900s made of copper, with a three-dimensional structure and a subject depicting a dolphin. The figure is modeled with notable decorative quality and appears suspended in an elegant movement, as if caught in the moment of a leap. The arched body, the elongated snout, the dorsal fin, the lateral fins and the forked tail define a dynamic and harmonious silhouette, capable of evoking the marine world with great immediacy.
Unlike more linear traditional weather vanes, this example has an almost sculptural presence. The lower part retains the axis with the letters of the cardinal points, while the copper surface has a beautiful natural patina, in burnished and oxidized green tones, which underlines its authenticity and charm of the time. A rare decorative object, ideal for collectors and for environments with character.
Measurements: 70cm wide x 70cm deep x 90cm high.
