GRAND CURLEWCharles Sumner Bunn
GRAND CURLEWCharles Sumner Bunn (1865-1952)
Shinnecock, NY, c. 1900
17 1/2 in. long
In 1971 Milton Weiler’s “Classic Shorebird Decoys” portfolio was published with text by William J. Mackey Jr. Across from Weiler’s Plate No. 3, illustrating a closely related curlew, Mackey writes, “In hand [the maker's] decoys have the feel of real birds. His knowledge and study of the live bird and his skill with a knife transferred the feel of the wishbone, the unfolded wings, and the modeling of the bone structure to blocks of wood. His was a unique talent not given to any other decoy maker.” Mackey also states, “Nothing finer has been found ever since.”
This newly discovered and exceptionally rare Long Island shorebird now joins a small and elite group of curlew by this celebrated carver and guide. It has been passed down through a prominent New York family who lived in the city and escaped to Long Island and specifically the Hamptons. The family had a strong sporting heritage dating back to at least the 19th century and played host to figures, including Ogden M. Pleissner. This decoy, along with one rigmate, was retired from gunning to be displayed in their Upper East Side apartment. The bird is now making its debut to the decoy community on the heels of its mate, capping one of the greatest shorebird decoy discoveries in recent memory.
Very few decoys of this coveted model have surfaced, with fewer still held in private collections. One example from the William J. Mackey Collection was acquired by Dr. James McCleery in the 1970s, setting a record price for any decoy at the time. After that bird traded again in the McCleery auction decades later, it rejoined the ranks of the top decoys ever sold. The second comparable in private hands recently reached the market from the estate of Dr. Lloyd Griffith. And, lastly, this decoy’s rigmate reached the auction block in the Sporting Sale 2022. Condition reports provided for the aforementioned private collection examples suggest that all four have survived in fairly comparable condition.
Rounding out his monumental curlew model, two related examples from the rig of T.F. Norton have been held in the Long Island Museum at Stony Brook since they were gifted in 1966. One of these two appears to be the model for Weiler’s illustration. This survey makes this lot the sixth of this model to surface publicly, and only the fourth to come to auction.
The grand body is larger than some waterfowl and accordingly was made with two-piece construction, held together by wooden pegs. "The shorebirds are ‘sui generis,’” writes historian and curator Bob Shaw, “carved to suggest nuances of body forms and underlying bone and muscle that no other carver even attempted.” Regarding his best works, Shaw states, “[They] transcend the decoy genre to rank among the finest bird portraits created by an American artist.”
Original paint with moderate gunning wear and a replaced bill. Shallow flat area around stick hole has been restored.
