AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Very decorative decoy duck (lok eend), probably from the mid-20th century (could be a bit younger). It is a fairly large decoy: width 39 cm, height 14 cm, depth 15 cm and weight about 700 g. The painting is clear, but over time and due to light and temperature influences somewhat faded. Clear is the head attachment. The bodies were often made separately and then the head was mounted. Then it was painted (this duck mainly in green- and gray-tones). The wear from use is clearly visible (photos); very decorative! Behind the head there is a glued-on piece visible (see photos). It may be that underneath there is a screw or a dowel by which the head is attached to the hull, but that is not certain. Under the front of the bill, a barely noticeable piece of wood has chipped (see photos).
The wood on the bottom is clearly worn. This is because the duck usually stood on damp ground. The underside is painted. There are 3 holes visible. These were probably holes through which the duck was fixed in the landscape. This duck is clearly a decoy duck that stood on a bottom and did not float in water. Decoys intended for on-water use (are) typically have a rounded bottom (like a boat). They also often have a ballast weight hanging underneath for stabilization.
This duck was made in the Netherlands and was not made as a decorative duck, but truly as a decoy duck. It has also been used for years to lure ducks.
This decoy duck is a jewel in any interior; modern, but also suitable for a more classic interior.
The decoy duck is carefully packaged and insured for shipment.
Seller's Story
I sell antique and vintage products. The items I sell are very diverse in nature; from lamps to side tables, from phones to wooden sculptures, from vintage kitchen equipment to Art Deco and Art Nouveau coat racks, and everything in between. The things I buy are usually objects that I personally like and that are of high quality. It sometimes takes effort to part with them!
My expertise lies primarily in products from the 20th century.
I ship in used boxes combined with paper filler material. The boxes are sturdy. Usually made of double-wall cardboard. I ship, unless otherwise agreed, always within two days of purchase. I attach great importance to friendly, decent and reliable contact with my buyers.
