Antique Turkish Bird Fountain, Swan Spitter, Garden Decor, Solid Brass Ottoman Empire, Antique 1910s


We have this amazing solid brass bird fountain from the Ottoman empire period. It is very heavy almost 40 lbs (18 kg) made of solid brass. It isfrom the beginning of the 1900s-1910s.

Ottoman gardens were expected to be functional as well as beautiful: an important feature of the Ottoman gardens was that they were planted not only with flowers but also with fruits and vegetables.
Two other invariable elements of Ottoman gardens were cypress trees and fountains consisting of a pool with one or more spouts. When possible the gardens were created and constructed next to a brook or on the shores of the sea.

The fountain is 22'' (56 cm) long. 13'' (33 cm) high and 6'' (15 cm) deep.
It will work by attaching a hose to the pipe below the bird.
