Description from the seller
A charming and authentic wooden duck decoy with subtle patina, originally used as a lure bird and today a stylish decorative object with character.
This hand-painted wooden duck is a beautiful example of a traditional duck decoy (lure bird), used during hunting to attract wild ducks. The underside features original holes for sinking weight, indicating that this object was actually functional.
The design is inspired by the wild duck (Anas platyrhynchos), executed in a lighter, refined color scheme with a blue-gray head and finely worked feather details. The visible wear and signs of use give the piece an authentic look and enhance its vintage character.
Nowadays, these decoys are highly valued as decorative objects in rural, Scandinavian, and coastal interiors.
