I was reading The New Yorker's Goings on About Town this weekend, and noticed that Christie's is having a sale of Important American Furniture, Folk Art, and Prints. The New Yorker highlighted Lot 61, "a very rare hand-carved wooden goose decoy from the nineteenth century that once belonged to a “rig” of six such decoys, used for tricking unsuspecting geese during hunting season. For the past twenty years, this particular specimen has been living on a sheep ranch in Patagonia in southern Argentina, having been transported there by an American expatriate with a fondness for remote places."
If you can't make it to Christie's this week, click here to bid on an Antique James River Virginia Carved and Painted Wood Decoy, pictured above. The side of the decoy is fitted with a stamped metal label that reads: "FROM WEYANOKE HOME OF DAN PATCH JAMES RIVER-RICHMOND, VA"
