Deep green plumage, ocher beak, the compact silhouette on the water. This male mallard duck, carved from wood and hand-painted, embodies the entire atmosphere of 1970s-1980s country interiors, when nature directly inspired decoration and every everyday object was carefully considered. The bird's body houses a candle poured directly into the wood, its wick intact, hardly consumed. The visible brushstrokes on the wings, the yellow highlights on its flank, the shiny black head with green iridescent reflections are testament to artisanal craftsmanship that gives each piece a unique character. Approximately 19 cm in length, 9 cm in height. Placed on a mantelpiece, a library shelf, or an entryway console, this object brings a touch of nature and artisanal warmth. A piece for lovers of folk art, decor inspired by the animal world, and objects that tell a story of an era.
