Description: Picture this majestic rooster, resplendent in its bronze-painted glory, once holding court in a sun-drenched French kitchen. Its imposing presence and lifelike details suggest it wasn't just décor, but a cherished companion to a family who appreciated artistry and whimsy. Crafted by the famed Alexander Backer Co., known for making artistry accessible, this substantial chalkware rooster transcends their usual playful style. Its faux-bronze finish, coupled with its weight and size, speaks to a mid-century desire for statement pieces that blended artistry with everyday living. Condition Note: Please note there is a small chip on one of the tail feathers, as shown in the last photo. This minor imperfection adds to its vintage charm and history, a testament to its years of being admired and loved. Maker History & Era: Founded in 1946, Alexander Backer Co. democratized decorative arts, bringing affordable yet charming figurines to homes across America. This rooster, bearing their unmistakable mark, represents a departure from their typical lighthearted chalkware, indicating a foray into more upscale designs. Its mid-century aesthetic, characterized by bold forms and textured finishes, places it firmly in the 1950s or 60s. Why You Will Be Obsessed With It: This is more than just a rooster; it's a tangible piece of history, an artistic triumph, and a conversation starter. Its sheer size and heft command attention, while the meticulous paintwork, mimicking aged bronze, adds a layer of sophistication. Its expressive pose, captured mid-crow, conveys a sense of energy and vitality that will enliven any room. Whether you're an avid collector, a Francophile, or someone who appreciates unique objects, this rooster is sure to become a treasured centerpiece in your home.
