Cushing & White

Cushing & White, active in the 19th century, were known for their distinctive metal weathervanes. The duo produced a variety of weathervanes with a focus on rural themes like animals, often crafted in copper or brass, then painted or gilded to enhance their appeal. The "Cow" weathervane, a prime example, exhibits the artists' skill in capturing the natural form of the animal, rendered in intricate detail. The weathervane, with its golden patina, adds a touch of rustic charm to any building. These weathervanes were often used to adorn barns and farms, reflecting the importance of agriculture in American life during this era.
