Decorative duck in hand painted solid wood – Vintage Alpine Crafts (60/80s)

Decorative duck in solid wood – Alpine craft, years 60 to 80

This charming solid wood duck, hand painted, is a fine example of popular mountain crafts, probably made in the Alps region between the 1960s and 1980s.

The sculpture, simple but expressive, recalls the winter work of local artisans who, during the mort-season, made decorative objects both robust and aesthetic. This type of room was often sold in mountain resorts or in tourist valleys, for visitors looking for an authentic souvenir.

With no signature or distinctive brand, this duck still embodies the rustic and warm style of furniture and alpine decoration. Its deep tones — red, dark green, ochre — evoke the natural shades of wood and forest.

With its generous dimensions (approx. 15 x 20 cm) and its weight, it is a decorative object that imposes a sober but full of character presence. It fits perfectly into a cottage, country or vintage interior.

A beautiful collection piece for lovers of popular art or enthusiasts of carved wooden objects.
