FAQs

To preserve the original patina and paintwork, items should be kept away from direct sunlight and high humidity, avoiding harsh cleaning agents and dusting gently with a dry cloth.

These pieces function well as textural focal points on bookshelves, mantelshelves, or sideboards, bringing a sense of rustic character and historical depth to modern spaces.

Authentication relies on examining the tool marks, the natural wear of the original paint layer, the type of wood used, and signs of genuine weathering or age-related oxidisation.

Authentic decoys were typically carved from solid blocks of native timber such as white pine or cedar, featuring glass or metal tack eyes and hand-painted surfaces.

Wooden duck decoys originated as functional tools used by hunters to attract waterfowl, eventually transitioning into highly sought-after pieces of folk art sculpture.
