Large 19th Century Folk Art Copper Fish Weathervane

A superb large scale hand crafted 19th century wrought iron Weathervane with beautifully patinated Copper Fish.

Originally commissoned and crafted for the Church of Ireland Rectory in Schull, County Cork, where it spent over a century. It was bought by its previous owner and has had pride of place at their private country houses in County Wicklow and then County Kilkenny for well over 50 years. A truly wonderful piece of craftsmanship and real statement peice for the descerning home owner.

Condition commensurate with age and use.

Provenance: Purchased by Sweeney&Son from a curated collection of anitques owned by Irish Author  Mr Peter Somerville-Large
