FAQs

Wooden duck decoys originated primarily as functional tools used by hunters to attract waterfowl, but over time they evolved into a recognised form of American and European folk art cherished for their regional carving styles and hand-painted surfaces.

Traditional decoys were typically carved from native softwoods such as white pine, cedar, or balsa, often shaped from a single solid block or hollowed out to reduce weight, then finished with lead weights and hand-applied oil or lead-based paints.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit genuine age-related wear, including surface craquelure, paint oxidation, tool marks from hand-carving or drawknives, and historical weight attachments or rigging staples on the underside.

These sculptural objects can be displayed individually on bookshelves, mantelpieces, or coffee tables to introduce organic texture, historic character, and a touch of rustic warmth into contemporary living spaces.

Preserve painted wooden items by keeping them away from direct sunlight and maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, dusting gently with a dry, soft cloth without applying chemical cleaning agents or oils.
