✨ Cabinet Curiosity #229: The Prepared Waterfowl
Curated for modern nerds and old souls.
Waterfowl are technically waterproof by nature, but this refined gentleman insists on maintaining his personal standards regardless of the weather forecast.
Handmade in India during the 1970s or 1980s by S.K. Brass World, this delightfully quirky brass figurine features a duck holding a canopy umbrella over his own head. The segmented dome umbrella is decorated with rich, jewel-toned enamel panels in red, green, purple, and gold, detailing etched peacocks and marching elephants.
Mounted on a weighted, flared circular pedestal base, this solid brass piece functions equally well as a whimsical shelf sculpture or a heavy paperweight to keep your desk organized. Whether styled on a maximalist bookshelf, added to a brass bird collection, or gifted to someone who appreciates absurdly polite animals, this piece is pure vintage joy.
Maker & Origin: S.K. Brass World (Made in India).
Era: Circa 1970s to 1980s.

Because these items have lived past lives, they arrive with authentic character consistent with their age and previous use. The items have been cleaned and freshened whenever safe, but their original environments remain unknown. Since scent perception is subjective, buyers with extreme sensitivities may choose to give items a light wipe upon arrival.
