注意事项
On occasion, Christie's has a direct financial interest in the outcome of the sale of certain lots consigned for sale. This will usually be where it has guaranteed to the Seller that whatever the outcome of the auction, the Seller will receive a minimum sale price for the work. This is known as a minimum price guarantee. This is a lot where Christie’s holds a direct financial guarantee interest.

拍品专文

This pair of wood ducks as well as the standing drake (in previous lot) are excellent examples of Shang Wheeler's decorative carvings and complement his working decoys. Adele Earnest called these decorative decoys "the rarest of the rare."
