Antique early 1900s copper rooster weathervane
This unique weathervane is a beautiful example of early 20th century European folk art and once stood atop a church or farmhouse. The rooster is naively crafted from copper and was originally mounted on a pike. The conical base remains intact and can still easily be fitted onto a pole or rod for display.
A striking and characterful piece, it would make a bold statement mounted on a roof, while also serving as a distinctive decorative object when displayed indoors on a wall.
After more than a century, the weathervane remains in worn condition, showing clear signs of age and exposure. Years of weathering have given the copper a rich, oxidized patina that enhances its rugged charm and authentic appearance. The piece has been treated with antique wax to protect the surface and provide a subtle, soft sheen.

Antique 1910s WWI trench art crucific
This remarkable crucifix dates from the First World War and was crafted from spent bullets and shell casings. It stands as a poignant reminder of the conflict and reflects the personal expressions that emerged from the hardships of war.
At the top there is a small brass plaque engraved with “Ypres,” the Belgian town that lay at the heart of the Western Front and was almost completely destroyed during the war due to years of heavy fighting and bombardments.
To cope with the relentless stress and monotony of trench warfare, soldiers often turned to creativity, transforming remnants of the battlefield into expressive handmade objects. Today known as trench art, these pieces were fashioned from discarded military materials such as shell casings, bullets, and other metal fragments. Working with only simple tools, soldiers relied on ingenuity and patience, giving each object a raw and deeply human character.
This unique artifact carries a strong historical presence and would make a striking addition to a World War I or military collection.
Despite being over a century old, the crucifix remains in good condition. Over time, it has developed an oxidised patina that enhances its historic character.
