This Quail Weathervane Parent with Juvenile Chicks was originally commissioned in 1997 by a customer living in Carmel, California. It has also been ordered by the Los Altos, California, History Musuem. We can detail your weathervane to represent either California Quail or Gambels Quail, depending on which bird is native to your area. Pictured you will see our customer chose optional gold leaf for accenting the distinctive markings of the quail. The eyes are glass, and are available in a nice range of colors. The bar beneath the birds’ feet can be inscribed.
Our weathervanes are crafted from copper sheet in the swell bodied technique, free hand style, by our wonderful artisans. As a result, though each is part of a limited number series, no two are ever exactly alike. When ordering you will have the option of including ‘Lucky’ Pennies of significant dates along with the penny from the year of manufacture that will be sealed into your sculpture piece. Some choose to put pennies in each of the birds representing the children and parents of their family.
Our quail weathervanes have taken residence in diverse locations. They show and function beautifully at ground level, on fences and decks, and certainly on roof tops.
