Pair of Ironwood/Lignum Vitae Ducks


SOLD

Really great pair of quacking and swimming ducks. Or Duck and duckling. They are in an extremely hard and heavy wood, possibly a lignum vitae or ironwood although I'm not sure if it's been stained. The duckling has a knot in and both have one side of the head in a different colour, probably painted. They are in excellent condition and due to the hardness of the wood there are very few marks on them. If you look very closely on the larger one there's an extra hole near where the head is joined, probably an error - it would have meant a very quizzical looking duck! It doesn't at all detract and is barely noticeable - I only spotted it with an illuminated loupe - but it's only fair to mention it.

Larger: 13cm x 6cm x 10cm
Smaller: 10cm x 5.5cm x 8cm
