Description
This is a handsome pair of decorative Mallard duck decoys, featuring iconic green heads and detailed feathering. These are non-floating figurines designed for shelf or mantle display. Each duck is hand-painted with a matte finish, capturing the rustic aesthetic of cabin or lodge-style decor. Perfect for collectors of waterfowl or those looking to add a touch of nature to a study or office.
Key Features
Classic Mallard Drake aesthetic, hand-painted details, lightweight composite material, sold as a matching pair, fits 'Cottagecore' or 'Grandpa Chic' trending styles.
Authenticity Indicators
Lack of maker's marks or signatures suggests mass-produced decor rather than artisan-carved collectibles. High confidence in being a budget-friendly decor set.
Flaws to Note
Small paint chips on the yellow bills and tail feathers. Some dust buildup in the carved crevices. These are decor items only and not functional hunting decoys.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace, eBay, or a local antique booth. These are heavy to ship relative to value, so local sales may be more profitable.
Selling Tips
Clean with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust before photographing. Use keywords like 'Lodge Decor', 'Waterfowl', 'Cabin Art', and 'Mallard'. Price competitively as a set rather than individually to move them faster.
