  • Castanets: Two pairs of polished wooden castanets with braided cords and tassels

Highlights

  • Style: Warm, nature-inspired lodge and cabin charm with a nostalgic mid-century feel
  • Hidden Storage: Lift the wings to stash remotes, keys, yarn or treats inside the duck
  • Conversation Pieces: The detailed weaving and painted feathers make the duck a standout on a shelf or hearth
  • A Bit of History: Woven duck baskets like this were widely exported from China in the 1960s and '70s, and their fine bamboo weaving and lift-off wing lids have made them a favorite with vintage collectors
