Steve Ward & Lem Ward. Sculptural Turned Head

Item Details

Description

Steve Ward & Lem Ward (Crisfield, MD). Sculptural Turned Head Resting Mallard Drake. 1954. Signed on bottom with notation, "L.T. Ward's Own Personal Collection. 1954." 14.5" long. Carved and painted wood. Near mint condition. This represents that significant transition period between decoys that were designed strictly for hunting and other ones that were destined for display on the mantle. It features excellent original paint, raised and curled wing tips and wide sturdy body with subtly sculpted contours. Est. $6,000-9,000. Ship: $65. The Ward Brothers are recognized masters of decoy and decorative bird carvings. For more than 50 years, the carving partnership of L.T. Ward & Brother of Crisfield, Maryland created waterfowl decoys and decorative bird carvings. Steve Ward (1895-1976) and Lem Ward (1896-1984) made hunting decoys until the 1950's, when collector demands for their realistic carvings prompted them to concentrate on life-sized decorative birds. The film, "Nature's Counterfeiters: Lem and Steve Ward" showcases their lives, legacy and artwork. The prestigious Ward Museum of Waterfowl Art in Salisbury, MD was established in 1976 to honor the brothers' many achievements.
