Ten hand-painted wooden figures in a multicoloured folk-art style, including a largest penguin (20 cm high, 11 cm wide, 11 cm deep, about 300 g) dating from the 1960s–1970s, six Lokeenden decoy ducks from the 1980s–1990s and two wooden swans, all made of soft wood and originating from the Netherlands, with minor signs of age and some paint loss.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
10 decorative wooden figures. It concerns an old penguin statue, 6 decorative mallard duck figures, and two wooden swans. The penguin probably dates from the 1960s or 1970s; the ducks and swans probably date from the 1980s or 1990s of the previous century. The penguin is the largest and heaviest figure. It is 20 cm high, 11 cm wide and 11 cm deep. It weighs about 300 g. The smallest duck weighs about 20 g, it is 12 cm wide, 6 cm high and 5 cm deep. The other figures are between these two in weight and size. The total weight of the 10 figures is 1.3 kg.
The ducks are carved from wood and are solid. The type of wood is hard to determine, but it is soft wood, such as poplar or willow.
The paintwork is clearly visible. The ducks still look very good. The two swans have a few straight cracks in the neck (see photos). The penguin is an older piece and shows some signs of wear. There is a repaired crack at the beak visible and also at the tail (see photos). Also, in certain places the paint has disappeared and the gesso is visible (gesso is a ground layer made of lime and animal binder used to even out the carved wood and make it suitable for painting). These signs of use give the piece a particularly attractive appearance.
The ducks are decorative mallards and were never used for duck decoys. On a couple of ducks the original shop tag is still visible on the bottom from where it was bought.
These ducks were probably made in the Netherlands or Belgium. They look very decorative both together and separately; a piece of ornament in any interior; modern, but also suitable for a more classic interior. With a small spotlight on it, especially beautiful in a cabinet or display case!
The figures are carefully packed and shipped insured.
Seller's Story
I generally sell antiques and vintage products. But also products, sometimes from the 21st century, that I find particularly appealing. The products I sell are very diverse in nature; from lamps to side tables, from telephones to wooden carvings, from vintage kitchen equipment to Art Deco and Art Nouveau coat hooks, and everything in between. The things I buy are usually items that I personally find beautiful and that are of high quality. It often costs me to part with them!
My expertise lies mainly in products from the 20th century.
I ship in used boxes in combination with paper filling material, or plastic filling material that is inside boxes that are sent to me. The boxes are sturdy. Usually made of double cardboard. I ship, unless otherwise agreed, always within two days after purchase. I place great value on a friendly, decent and reliable contact with my buyers.
