About the Item
A charming hand-carved wooden decoy duck, likely French, dating from the early 20th century. This authentic working decoy shows wonderful traces of its original painted surface in soft, muted tones of ochre, brown, and grey — beautifully worn by time and use. The carving captures a graceful, natural form with a subtly tilted head and streamlined body.
Originally used by hunters as a floating lure, this decoy now stands as a sculptural piece of folk art, with the patina and wear adding exceptional warmth and character. The small losses and surface irregularities only enhance its rustic beauty and authenticity.
