FAQs

Wooden duck decoys were traditionally carved by hunters to attract waterfowl, evolving over centuries into a recognised form of American and European folk art prized by collectors.

Authentic decoys are typically carved from native woods such as white pine, cedar, or balsa, often featuring hollow bodies to reduce weight and lead ballast weights attached to the underside for stability on water.

Authentication relies on examining tool marks, original lead weights, patina, pigment oxidisation, and characteristic carving styles associated with known regional makers or carver guilds.

These sculptural objects integrate well into rustic, traditional, or transitional spaces, functioning effectively as accent pieces on bookshelves, mantelpieces, or sideboards.

Preservation requires keeping wooden decoys away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity, dusting gently with a soft dry cloth, and avoiding chemical cleaners that might strip the original painted surface.
