Small Standing Mallard Duck Carving

Price: 95

Sold by West Pelham Antiques

A small standing mallard (male) duck carving in original paint, dating to the mid-20th century. Nice detailing in the paint (eyes, feather markings, etc.) and standing on 2 wire legs, the mallard is about 4” from bill to tail and stands 5” tall including the round wooden base (no signatures or marks that I can find that might identify the carver). The duck is carved from a single piece of soft wood and attached to the base. It is in very fine condition and dates to the middle of the 20th century. From a collection that included numerous small and miniature carved ducks and geese.
