拍品专文

A rare model with extraordinary surface, this 'Goddess of Liberty' weathervane is very close to an illustration in J.W. Fiske's 1893 catalogue Copper Weathervanes (p. 50). Small details of variation, such as the number of stripes in the flag and the positioning of the feet (here, facing same direction; in 1893 design, facing opposite directions), suggest that the lot offered here was made at a slightly different time but in all likelihood by the same firm. For another survival of this model, see Sotheby's, New York, 21 January 2021, lot 174.
