AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This pair of wooden swans has that quiet charm that only objects with a history possess. Their graceful lines and the elegant curve of the neck evoke the serenity of the regal bird, but they also speak of a very different past: for decades, figures like these were carved by hand to serve as hunting decoys in wetlands and lagoons.

Today, stripped of their original function, they have found a second life as highly valued decorative pieces. Their rustic aesthetic — halfway between the artisanal and the sculptural — fits wonderfully in interiors that seek warmth, authenticity, and a touch of tradition. Each mark of the carving, each shade of the aged white, adds character and turns these swans into something more than mere ornaments: they are fragments of rural memory transformed into domestic art.

Certified shipment and good packaging.
