Vintage Indian Inlay Duck | Mother of Pearl & Brass
The Story
This charming decorative duck is a superb example of traditional Indian craftsmanship, dating back to approximately the 1970s. Carved from warm mango wood, it has been meticulously hand-embellished with delicate mother of pearl inlay and brass detailing. Its intricate patterns and natural materials make it a versatile piece that sits perfectly in both modern rustic and bohemian-style interiors.
The Details
Dimensions: 11cm H x 13cm W
Materials: Mango wood, brass, and mother of pearl.
Origin: India.
Era: Circa 1970 onwards.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. It shows light signs of use and gentle tarnishing to the brass, which adds to its aged character. Note: One small piece of mother of pearl inlay is missing (visible in overhead photographs).
Why It’s Special
The art of wood inlay, particularly from regions like Saharanpur, is a centuries-old Indian tradition. This duck captures the mid-to-late 20th-century iteration of that craft, designed for the global decorative market. The iridescent quality of the mother of pearl against the dark mango wood and golden brass creates a tactile, high-quality feel.
