PINTAIL PAIRLuigi Andreuccetti (1898-1978)
Vorden, CA, 1948
17 1/2 in. long
In the "The Great Book of Waterfowl Decoys," the West Coast contributor Gerald Rosenthal introduces Andreuccetti as "the Sacramento stylist." In addition to being credited with minting a distinct style, the Italian-born carver scorned patterns, creating variety within his portfolio. According to “Wildfowl Decoys of California” author Michael Miller, the carver would hunt for pintails in cornfields under a full moon. His favorite hunting locale was Snodgrass Slough, where he hunted for most of his life.
A classic pair of Andreuccetti pintail made with his higher-grade balsa-on-board body construction and his signature textured surface. They have strong feather paint, incised wing detail, and the maker's signature and date on the undersides.
"He was a charming man who carved charming decoys." — Joe Engers, "The Great Book of Waterfowl Decoys"
Original paint with even gunning wear. Drake has spot of working touch-up to left shoulder and hen has scattered spots, mostly to shot holes.
