Antique Farmhouse Primitive Folk Art Running Horse Metal Weathervane

This large and visually striking metal weathervane captures the charm of early American folk art with its running horse silhouette and whimsical spotted paintwork. Hand-cut from sheet metal and mounted on a central rod, it was likely used as a kinetic decorative element in a rural setting. The primitive style and expressive hand-painted details evoke a sense of Americana, while the wear and patina from age enhance its authenticity and display appeal. A rare surviving example of functional, sculptural farm art from the early 20th century.
