#LiveLikeARockefeller: This eider drake decoy – complete with gunshot holes – once sat on the window ledge above David Rockefeller’s desk, framing his views of Seal Harbor.
.
In the 18th century, hunters created elaborate wooden duck models like this one to attract water fowl. The practice ended almost immediately with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918.
.
This particular wooden duck was ‘one of David’s dearest’, recalls Margot Rosenberg, a folk art expert and our Senior Director of Client Advisory in New York.
.
‘David was always passionate and gracious. That he chose to consign this beloved duck decoy to Christie’s as part of his giving pledge shows his generosity,’ says our specialist. ‘Just like his decoys, David was at his core a hard-working piece of Americana.’
