Big, bold, and beautifully weathered, this swan decoy from Knotts Island, North Carolina, isn’t just a looker—it’s a full-on scene-stealer. At 32.5 inches long, it’s got presence. The body is classic canvas-over-wire construction, giving it that soft, sculptural surface that plays well with light and shadow. Original paint throughout, with all the right signs of age: a stable crack around the neck, some tasteful paint crazing across the head and bill, and a bit of soiling to the canvas. There’s loss around the bottom seam where the canvas has pulled away, but the silhouette holds strong. Branded on the underside by the maker, Ronnie Wade (RBW), a known figure among Eastern seaboard decoy carvers.
