About the Item
With their gently stylized forms and expressive, contrasting gestures, this pair of early 20th-century cast iron ducks embodies the quiet charm of vernacular folk design. One duck bows low as if mid-forage, while its companion lifts its head high, beak angled skyward in a frozen moment of alertness. Together they strike a visual rhythm—humble yet intentional, decorative yet grounded in utility.
Their cast iron bodies, softened by time, show a deep patinated surface with warm undertones and scattered traces of oxidation. Each figure is mounted on a rectangular base with open underside, typical of hollow iron work from the 1920s. Whether originally used as doorstops, decorative weights, or purely as whimsical ornaments, they now read as collected objects with sculptural presence and a hint of narrative.
There is a tactile honesty to their form—thick-limbed and slightly naive—that speaks to early casting methods and a handmade aesthetic. Ideal for interiors with rustic, folk, or industrial leanings, this pair brings with it a touch of quiet humor and history, frozen in iron. With heights of approximately 11 and 11.5 inches, this pair balances scale and charm in equal measure.
