Bing & Grøndahl monkey figurine no. 1667 in porcelain

This small monkey figurine from Bing & Grøndahl has a quiet and contemplative expression, which makes it remarkable at first glance. The figure sits curled up with its tail close around the body, while the slightly tilted head and the large, alert eyes give the motif life and personality. It is a porcelain figurine that combines naturalistic details with a soft, poetic design language.

The design was created by Ingeborg Plockross-Irminger, who is known for her animal figurines with presence and character. Here, the monkey's slender limbs, distinctive face, and fine posture are shaped with a calm confidence that makes the figure interesting to observe from several angles. The light glaze with subdued grey shades and the glossy surface emphasize the figurine's calm appearance and highlight the fine lines of the modelling.

As Bing & Grøndahl figurine no. 1667, this monkey appeals both to collectors of classic Danish porcelain and to those of you seeking a decorative animal figurine with history. Older porcelain figurines like this have a special ability to add personality to the home, and at the same time they are a beautiful choice for those of you who appreciate quality items created to last for many years. This makes the figurine ideal in a display cabinet collection, on a shelf among books and works of art, or as a personal gift for a collector or animal lover.

The small seated monkey goes well with other porcelain figurines, but can also stand alone as a discreet eye-catcher. It has the kind of expression that makes you return to it again and again and discover new details in the pose and the face.
