Rooster by Josef Frank
The decorative rooster, or cockarel in brass was designed by Josef Frank and was originally created as a weather vane for Estrid Ericson’s summer house, Tolvekarna. Later, it served as the model for a smaller cockerel intended for use as a table decoration.
About the rooster
The rooster is an ancient symbol of vigilance and, during Easter, is associated with the triumph of light over darkness, as it crows at the break of dawn to herald a new day.
A table decoration
The brass rooster available in the collection today is a beautiful addition to the Easter table, continuing the tradition of its decorative use.
