SILVER Seller in Catania, Italia
Rare Italian wind vane from the early 1900s made of copper, characterized by a refined three-dimensional structure with a subject depicting a pelican. The bird is interpreted with an essential but very effective formal language: the long beak, the elegant neck, the collected body and the webbed legs contribute to creating a highly decorative and immediately recognizable figure. The rendering of the subject, almost sculptural, distinguishes this example from simpler or flatter weather vanes, giving it a presence of great charm even as a purely ornamental object. The lower part retains the classic compass rose with the letters of the cardinal points, while the copper surface shows a natural antique patina, with burnished tones and shades of oxidized green that enhance its authenticity. A decorative and architectural object of notable personality, ideal for collectors of weather vanes, popular art and antiques of original taste. Measurements: 65 x 65 x 110 cm.
