Description
AMISH TIN BARN STAR 12'' WHITE made in USA
Barnstars were meant to represent the mark of the builder, but became more frequently used for aesthetic purposes and were added to the building after construction was complete. Enthusiasts have traced a number of wooden barnstars to individual builders in the Pennsylvania area, where numerous examples can still be seen.
Barnstars were used in the United States during the 18th century and as late as 1870 in Pennsylvania, where their popularity increased greatly following the Civil War. Their regular use preceded that time, however, and stars were commonplace on large buildings, particularly factories, in pre-war Richmond, Virginia.
Barnstars remain a very popular form of decoration and modern houses are sometimes decorated with simple, metal, five-pointed stars which the makers describe as "barn-stars". They are often deliberately distressed or rusted, alluding to the traditional decoration.
These barn stars are hand pressed by Amish farmers, out of old salvaged tin from roofs from barns and out-buildings. The tin is corrugated which gives the stars character. They have a primitive and rustic look, with old paint, wear, and some rusting. Because the stars are made by hand and from old materials, each will have variations in shading, peeling, small nail holes and wear then the ones shown. The stars are also non-returnable for these reasons.

La peinture s écaille, sinon il est beau
Comment from Le Comptoir Americain the 25/04/2024
Bonjour Anne,
Je tiens tout d’abord à vous remercier pour votre achat sur notre site. Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez choisi une étoile amish en zinc, un produit unique en son genre.
Je souhaite vous éclairer sur certains aspects particuliers de ce produit. L’étoile amish que vous avez acquise est fabriquée à partir de zinc récupéré sur des chutes de toits. Ce choix de matériau est à la fois écologique, en favorisant le recyclage, et esthétique, en conférant à l’étoile une histoire et un caractère uniques.
Cependant, ce choix implique également certaines particularités. Le zinc, en raison de ses propriétés physiques et de son histoire, peut présenter des irrégularités. De plus, la peinture à la caséine utilisée pour décorer l’étoile, s’écaille sur ce support. Ce phénomène est tout à fait normal et fait partie intégrante du charme et de l’authenticité de ce produit.
En effet, chaque étoile est unique, avec ses propres caractéristiques et son propre vécu. Les éventuels défauts d’aspect ne sont pas des imperfections, mais plutôt des témoins de son histoire et de son authenticité. Ils participent à son charme et à son caractère rustique, typique de l’artisanat Amish.
J’espère que mes explications vous aideront à apprécier pleinement votre étoile Amish en zinc. N’hésitez pas à nous contacter si vous avez d’autres questions ou préoccupations.
Cordialement,
Philippe
