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 over 10 cm deep. They weigh roughly between 350 and 400 g.
The ducks were probably made as a set, as they look very alike, with the same carving style 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 very nice. Here and there there are some visible damages, and in one duck the joint between body and head is visible, because the paint has chipped away due to the wood’s movement (see photos).
Nice to see here is the gesso, which was used to treat the rough wood before it was painted. Gesso is lime bound with often animal binder, to even out the wood and create a more suitable surface to paint on.
The bodies were (often) made separately, after which the head was (or is) attached. Then it was painted. The signs of use are very decorative! Also very beautiful are the glass eyes that both ducks have (see photos).
These ducks are probably made in the Netherlands. They are decorative decoy ducks. The chance that they were ever actually used as decoys is not great; they still look very good. They were made to hunt ducks on dry ground, such as a field. You can see that from the flat bottom. Ducks that are made to float usually have a somewhat slanted bottom (like a boat) with often a lead 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 packed 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.
