Late 19th CENTURY gilt EAGLE weatehrvane spread wings FOLK ART 30″w x 20″h x 12″

A late 19th century gilt EAGLE weathervane. Most likely an old, but not original finish.
Has a great, impressive look with spread wing design. I can not see a makers mark on this.
Has wonderful design & detail.
We’ve enjoyed this piece in our family room on top of an entertainment center for about 8 years. I’ve been told to find a new owner for this piece. :-(
Measures 30″ wide at wing tips. Is 20″ high and just about 12/13″ deep.
Has a small black marble base that was with it when I bought the piece.
Great folk art, nice clean vanes like this are hard to find!

Late 19th CENTURY country store counter PANELED w corbels 147″L x 32″ h x 25″d

GREAT looking country store counter, dating last quarter of the 19th century.
Was recently used in a reproduction wood/furniture shop. This piece was upstairs in a barn.
Wonderful paneled design, finished on both ends, nice bracketed detail. NEVER PAINTED – has old dry, crackled finish (NEEDS A GOOD CLEANING!) Top has wear – could be sanded for smoother surface or left as is to show years of work on top.
Nice full length shelf & bottom on back side. Old bottle opener still attached to back. Solid and in GREAT condition!
Measures 147″ long is 25 3/8″ deep on top & is 32.5″ high!
LOTS of potential!
Great piece for a store or even kitchen island!
Wonderful look – very functional!
