Large Brass Cockerel Figure
This large brass cockerel is a decorative figure of a standing cockerel with its tail raised high behind it. The piece is offered as a sculptural ornament for the home, suited to a mantelpiece, shelf or display cabinet. Its bold profile and rich metal finish make it a striking centrepiece for a traditional or country-style interior.
The figure is made in brass and shows a plump, rounded body with a crested head, a curved beak and a fanned tail built up from individually modelled feathers. The tail feathers carry fine engraved lines, and the wing and body are finished with textured feather detailing. The cockerel stands on short, clawed feet, giving it a confident, upright stance. The maker is not identified.
Condition and Collectability
The brass surface has a warm, polished tone with darker patina visible in the recesses of the feathers and crest, which is consistent with age and handling. No condition report has been provided, and no repairs or restoration are recorded. Prospective buyers are encouraged to inspect the piece in person or ask questions before bidding. Figures of this kind appeal to collectors of vintage brassware and to buyers looking for a substantial, characterful ornament with traditional farmyard appeal.
