ATTRIBUTED TO BOSTON METALWORKS, BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, CIRCA 1850

The present lot shares many of the same qualities to a weathervane ascribed to the Boston Metal Workers shop, circa 1850. (Charles Klamkin, Weathervanes, The History, Design and Manufacture of an American Folk Art (New York, 1973), p. 92). These two weathervanes are related in the molding of the arms and head, as well as the definition to the peplum skirt.
