About the Item
Vintage Hand Carved and Decorated Wood Duck Drake Decoy, by Jean Charles Berruet, Nantucket, 1978, a competition grade hand carved and decorated Wood Duck Drake decoy with carved detail to the bill nares and nail, crest, raised feathers on back and primary wing feathers, and detailed tail feathers, beautiful and accurate painting and feather texture throughout, with hollow body, glass eyes, a small weight mounted on the bottom to balance as if for gunning use, hand signed and dated in pen on the bottom.
The decoy remain in excellent condition.
Jean Charles Berruet was the owner-chef of the famed Chanticleer Restaurant in Siasconset on Nantucket Island. A classically-trained French chef from Nantes, France, Jean Charles had been the private chef of Gourmet magazine founder Earle MacAusland, before purchasing the Chanticleer in the 1970s and turning it into world-class establishment with one of the best wine lists on the East Coast, if not the entire United States. He and his wife Anne owned The Chanticleer until 2008.
Jean Charles also became very well known for his superb waterfowl decoys which were privately sold, and now only rarely come onto the market.
