Large Handmade Welded Wire & Sheet Metal Rooster Sculpture Folk Art / Yard Art | 31" Wide × 28" Tall | Garden Planter Basket Body
A spectacular large handmade rooster sculpture in welded steel wire and sheet metal — a true one-of-a-kind piece of American folk art metalwork. The rooster is constructed from bent and welded steel rod/wire in a fluid, gestural "line drawing in three dimensions" style: sweeping tail feathers, articulated wings, detailed feet and claws, and an expressive head — all rendered in confident, flowing wire work. The comb, wattle, and beak are cut and shaped from sheet metal with a beautiful natural rust patina.
The body cavity forms an oval wire basket — perfect for dropping in a potted plant to create a stunning living sculpture garden display.
CONDITION: Good outdoor/garden condition Natural rust patina throughout — honest and beautiful surface character from outdoor display. Some mixed wire visible in the body basket area. All structural elements intact. A piece with real presence and age.
An extraordinary statement piece for a farmhouse garden, patio, front porch, or indoor display. The scale and quality of the hand work make this a true collector's piece, not a mass-produced garden ornament.
