ApplePayFor sale is a beautiful, authentic pair of vintage Korean Wedding Ducks (Won-ang seteu), originally purchased from a traditional market in Seoul, Korea.
Unlike the smaller, mass-produced souvenir versions, this is a large, 10-inch artisan set hand-carved and hand-painted by the recognized master Kim Hyeon-dong (金賢東). Both ducks feature his clear signature and traditional red seal (dojang) on the underside, authenticating them as high-quality folk art.
Symbolism & Tradition:
In Korean culture, these Mandarin ducks symbolize fidelity, peace, and a happy marriage. They are the ultimate traditional wedding gift and serve as a "marital barometer" in the home: * Harmony: Place them bill-to-bill for a peaceful household. * Discord: Turn them tail-to-tail to signal a "tiff" or disagreement!
Details & Condition: * Dimensions: Approximately 10" Long x 4" Wide (Full-size collector's pair). * Craftsmanship: Solid wood with intricate hand-painted feather patterns and a beautiful aged patina. * Condition: Very good vintage condition. The beaks and tail tips are sharp and intact, and the earth-tone paint is well-preserved. * Artisan Mark: Clear black ink signature and red seal on the base of both birds.
This set makes a meaningful, one-of-a-kind wedding or anniversary gift, or a standout addition for a collector of international folk art or bird decoys.
