The Hunter Hart Wood Duck
Charles Hart (1862-1960)
Gloucester, MA, c. 1910
12 in. long
Charles S. Hunter III (1943-2001) was known for decades as a prominent Southern decoy collector with a penchant for wood ducks. This rare stick-up wood duck, showcasing Hart's intricate carving, bears the imprint of Hunter's collection tag on the underside. The bird has two stick-up leg holes and it includes a wooden base. The maker's finest known separate summer duck, this life-size bird displays glass eyes, carved bill and wing detail, and carved primary and tail feather detail. Special attention was paid to this drake's signature crest which Hart fashioned with elaborate three-piece inlay construction.
The bird has two stick-up leg holes and it includes a wooden base.
A related Hart wood duck from the collection of legendary sporting artist, Ogden M. Pleissner (1905-1983) is now in the Shelburne Museum collection.
