Vintage 1984 Hand-Carved Mallard Duck Pair, Folk Art Shelf Decoys

Add rustic charm to your collection with this pair of hand-carved and hand-painted wooden mallard ducks. Crafted with incised feather details and original painted finish, these vintage folk art carvings capture both a drake (male) and a hen (female). The undersides are inscribed “Christmas 1984”, confirming their date. Likely gifted or commissioned as decorative carvings, these ducks were never intended as hunting decoys, but as beautiful shelf or mantel display pieces. Each duck shows natural age and wear to the paint, adding to their primitive, authentic charm. Perfect for collectors of decoys, rustic folk art, or lodge-style décor.
