Bing & Grøndahl monkey with turtle no. 1510 stoneware figurine

This Bing & Grøndahl stoneware figurine no. 1510 depicts a monkey with a turtle in a calm and thoughtful pose. The figurine is modelled with the monkey sitting hunched over, while it rests its head in one hand and observes the small turtle in the other. The motif contains a quiet story within it and gives the figurine an almost human expression, which makes it both charming and interesting to explore.

Jens Peter Dahl Jensen was known for his vivid animal depictions, and here one sees precisely the powers of observation that make his figurines sought after among collectors. The tension of the body, the long tail and the concentrated posture are finely balanced, so that the figurine appears natural from every angle. The glaze appears in muted nuances with dark and warm tones, which emphasise the figurine's organic form and give the stoneware depth.

As an older animal figurine from Bing & Grøndahl, this monkey with turtle holds both decorative value and collector interest. It fits beautifully in a bookcase, a display cabinet or as a freestanding artistic feature in the home décor. Precisely figurines with history and character add personality to the home, and they are at the same time a sustainable choice for you who appreciate quality design created to last for many years.

For collectors of Bing & Grøndahl figurines, stoneware figurines and animal figurines by Jens Peter Dahl Jensen, model 1510 is an exciting addition. The motif with monkey and turtle stands out with its narrative composition and its calm, almost philosophical expression. It is a figurine that one notices, and that continues to arouse curiosity.
