Antique Partridge Bird Decoy CARL MALMSTROM Oil Paint & Real Feet Signed Quail
Very interesting antique partridge decoy. Signed by highly regarded decoy artist Carl Malmstrom. Hand carved with a hand painted base in oil paints. The artist used real bird legs/feet on the decoy. Both legs are slightly broken. With the small cracks in the legs it doesn't stand perfectly anymore. Luckily the way it sits on the painted base makes it appear to still be standing. The condition is otherwise very good. The bottom is covered in felt. This piece just came out of an old lifetime collection.
It stands around 8.5 tall.
