Very scarce smaller size rooster weathervane

19th century
full body "DEXTER" horse weathervane. Attributed to The

century, horse weathervane forms were patterned after famous race
horses of the day and in my opinion, the Dexter form is my all time
favorite as it exhibits great form and powerful movement. It appears
to have been stripped at some point in its history, but what remains
is very appealing. The raw copper has taken on a wonderful warm and

RARE Puffy Sleeve
Artist watercolor silhouette. Ezra Wood, 1798-1841,

know of only one other male figure that is posed with a book in hand
as most often books were associated with young girls or women. It
remains in its original untouched condition including its frame and
historic glass. See the exact example on page 47 of A Loving

Very fine pair of
New England watercolor silhouettes. Both have similarities to
the hand of Ezra Wood (the puffy sleeve artist), but as much as they
resemble his work, I'm more comfortable associating them with an
unknown hand depicting Miss Boynton on page 51 of "A Loving
Likeness" from the collection of Ray and Susan Egan. It isn't too
far-fetched to think this artist and Ezra Wood lived near each other
and likely knew one another. The pair falls into that upper echelon
of silhouette collecting which is intensely sought after by advanced
collectors. Each is offered in their original frames under
historic glass with each being back with an acid free layer of
protection. c1830-35 Size: 4.75 x 6.75
