EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning weather vane finial, created by Salvatore Borrazzo in the 1930s, is a captivating example of American decorative arts from the 20th century. The intricately crafted metalwork depicts a playful scene of two cows with their heads turned towards each other, as if in conversation. The weather vane, which measures approximately 12 inches in height, is a testament to Borrazzo's exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. Borrazzo, an American artist, created this functional yet artistic piece during the 1930s or 1940s. The finial is a scale drawing in graphite on paper, serving as a preliminary design for the final metalwork. The weather vane's design is both functional and decorative, making it a popular choice for homes and buildings during this period. The weather vane's colorful and detailed design is reminiscent of the heritage art movement, which emphasized the importance of preserving traditional crafts and techniques. The index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts, includes Borrazzo's weather vane finial as an important representation of American art during this time. This weather vane finial is now part of the permanent collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it is admired for its unique combination of artistry, functionality, and historical significance. The weather vane's charming design and intricate details continue to captivate visitors to the gallery, making it a beloved piece of American heritage.
