Vintage "Le Chat Taigne" METAL BLACK CAT With Glass Eyes / Excellent Condition Garden Decoration 2024 and Decoy / Made In France / Retro Cool!
2024 Known as "Le Chat Taigne" in France (its country of origin), this cooler than cool (and very vintage) Black Metal Cat has been used for decades in French countryside gardens and orchards to ward off greedy birds, bats and rabbits. This trusty sentinel is traditionally hung several inches above the garden area and, with his glass eyes reflecting in both sun and moon light, this guy so resembles the real McCoy that pesky creatures are far too intimidated to even attempt to try nibbling on tender plantings!
Manufactured in the 50s, this cool (and highly collectible) Cat is in good condition, with some slight signs of wear but very little weathering and just some minimal scratch marks. His clear glass eyes remain firmly in place and he has no dents or repairs. Please view all of the listing photos for an accurate view of the condition of this vintage piece. This fab feline measures 14-1/2" from side to side, 6-3/4" from top to bottom and has three small holes for mounting and comes with a new piece of string (not the original) for hanging. Embossed "CHAT "TAIGNE" DEPOSE" on one side.
Use this one in the garden as it was intended to be used - or use it as a cooler than cool yard ornament. Could also be used as a fun display piece hung from the ceiling or sitting pretty on a bookshelf - and don't even get me started about what fun this cool Cat would be to use when decorating for Halloween!
