AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Two very decorative decoy ducks, probably from the second half of the 20th century. Both ducks are about 10.5 cm tall, 27 cm wide and just over 10 cm deep. They weigh roughly between 450 and 500 g. The ducks were likely made as a set, as they look very similar, with the same carving method and the same colors. The ducks are carved from wood and are solid. The type of wood is difficult to determine.
The painting is clear, and still quite striking. Here and there there are some imperfections visible, and in both ducks the join between body and head is visible, because the paint has chipped away due to the movement of the wood (see photos). The bodies were (are) often made separately, after which the head was (is) attached. Then it was painted. The signs of use are very decorative! Also very attractive are the glass eyes that both ducks have (see photos).
These ducks were made in the Netherlands. They are decorative decoy ducks. The chance that they were ever actually used as decoys is not certain; they still look very good. They were made to scare ducks on dry ground, such as a meadow. You can see this in two things: the ducks are somewhat darker painted (in contrast to many colorful decoy ducks that were often used for water) and the ducks have a flat bottom. Ducks designed to float usually had a somewhat slanted bottom (like a boat) with a lead weight to keep the animal stable in the water.
These decoy ducks are a jewel in any interior; a modern, but also a more classic interior.
The ducks (decoy ducks) are 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.
