This framed American 1940s Canada Goose decoy is a striking piece of functional folk art, beautifully preserved and presented. Originally crafted from waxed cardboard, the decoy was designed to be lightweight and portable, with a metal bar inserted to puff it up before being placed in fields or along ponds to attract fowl. The goose’s neck, once movable for positioning, is now fixed within the frame, capturing a moment frozen in time. The textured surface and subtle weathering speak to its authentic, utilitarian past. Custom framed in a simple weathered gray gallery frame and mounted against a matte board background that's been pressed to mimic linen, the decoy takes on a new life as a captivating display object. The contrast between the natural, rustic patina and the clean, modern presentation elevates this piece from humble hunting tool to a unique work of art. We have three of these available so you can cover a wall in your cabin or office for a bold, graphic statement.
