Guided by Mum, Hand‑Painted Wooden Ducks with Golden Highlights

A sweet mother duck and duckling pair, hand‑carved from lightweight wood and painted in warm earthy tones with soft golden highlights. Their gentle expressions and simple folk‑art style give them a lovely, nostalgic charm, the kind of decorative pieces that bring a touch of warmth and personality to a shelf, windowsill, or styled vignette.

Likely made in the 1980s, these ducks were created as decorative objects rather than working decoys, which explains their lightness and the softer, more whimsical paintwork. The larger duck leads with quiet confidence while the smaller one follows close behind, making them a naturally sentimental pair that feels perfect for a cosy, curated home.

Their hand‑painted finish blends russet, moss green, ochre, and gold, a palette that sits beautifully with natural woods, vintage books, and rustic interiors. Whether displayed together or styled separately, they add a gentle, homely presence to any space.

A charming duo for collectors of folk‑inspired décor, lovers of woodland themes, or anyone who appreciates small, characterful pieces with a story.
