$188.00

6”H x 4 1/2”W x 4”D 

Recalling the whimsical spirit of early 20th-century French bronze figures, these bronze monkey statuettes offer a playful exploration of form and narrative. In the manner of Commedia dell'arte-inspired designs, each monkey is presented in a poised stance, as if mid-performance. Rather than candlesticks, however, these figures support intricately detailed platters and receptacles, hinting at a ceremonial or offering-bearing purpose. The patinated brass, exhibiting wear throughout that speaks to its history, has been lightly polished to reveal a subtle, warm glow. One of the candle holders has been expertly refurbished, preserving the overall integrity of the piece. Despite their vintage origins, these figures are in great condition, retaining their mischievous charm and inviting a touch of lightheartedness into any curated space." Some wear to pair. Great vintage condition.
