Auction PreviewAuthentic James Eaton Weathervane and Vintage Artemide Castore Table Lamp to Sell With Cates Auction & Realty Co., Inc
Dating back thousands of years, a whirligig is a spinning top, buzzer, pinwheel, or amusing weathervane that whirls or spins. Although it is usually powered by the wind, a whirligig can be friction-, hand-, or motor-powered. Used as kinetic garden ornaments, these are designed to transmit sound vibration into the ground to repel rodents. An authentic James Eaton weathervane made of painted aluminum is a key highlight of this upcoming auction, offered by Cates Auction & Realty Co., Inc. Titled 1 Horsepower Wheeled Thing, the vintage sculptural whirligig combines folk and contemporary aesthetics. Eaton’s pieces are known for bright hues, whimsical style, and unique materials and processes. His artworks have been displayed at exhibitions across the United States. Another old-fashioned lot in the sale is an Artemide Castore table lamp. The Rathcon magnetic hoops suspension sculpture features an RCA black plate power tube. Artemide is an Italian manufacturer founded in 1960 by Sergio Mazza and Ernesto Gismondi. The company is known for manufacturing lighting created by noted designers and architects. Two antique pendulum wall clocks also lead the offerings. Both of them are styled with striking carved wood details.
