Description

This extraordinary lot contains well over 60 hand-carved and hand-painted wooden bird figurines spanning decoys, shorebirds, and waterfowl carvings in a stunning range of species including mallards, loons, Canada geese, curlews, dowitchers, and more. Each piece displays remarkable artisan detail from finely feathered paint patterns to glass eyes and realistic bill colorations, with sizes ranging from miniature palm-sized carvings to full decorative display pieces. The collection includes both floating-style decoys with flat bottoms and standing shorebird carvings mounted on driftwood or metal rod bases, with finishes ranging from natural oiled wood to fully polished and lacquered paint. Condition appears generally excellent throughout with varied patinas suggesting pieces from multiple decades and carvers, making this an ideal lot for serious decoy collectors, folk art enthusiasts, or anyone who simply cannot say no to a gorgeous wooden bird.
