This folk art duck pairs hand-carved wood with riveted tin wings-a utilitarian detail that gives the piece its distinctive personality. The mix of materials and visible fasteners speaks to an era when objects were made to function first, with beauty emerging naturally from use.

The surface shows layers of age and handling, lending the duck a sculptural, timeworn presence. Raised on its original stand, it works especially well styled with contemporary art, books, or ceramics, where its material honesty can shine.

A compelling example of American folk craftsmanship.
