Royal Copenhagen monkey figurine no. 20187, 8,5 cm, Knud Kyhn

This monkey figurine from Royal Copenhagen is a characterful example of Knud Kyhn's strong sense for animal figures with personality and presence. The figure is made as a small, seated monkey with its arms drawn close to the body and a thoughtful, almost human expression that gives the figure life from all angles. The dark shades with warm brownish tones emphasize the sculptural form and give the stoneware depth and calm.

Knud Kyhn is known for his lively animal depictions, and it is precisely here that one senses his ability to unite simple form with distinct character. The monkey's compact posture, distinctive hands and feet, as well as the curved tail create a figure that appears both powerful and calm. It is a Royal Copenhagen figurine that fits beautifully into a collection of Danish design, but that can also easily stand alone on a shelf, in a bookcase or on a small table, where its expression has space.

As a stoneware figurine, it has a special weight and materiality that many collectors and design enthusiasts appreciate. This type of older design figurine is created to last and can still bring joy in the modern home. It is also an obvious choice for those who appreciate decorating with original objects with history, soul and a sustainable perspective. Choosing vintage and classic Danish stoneware is at the same time a beautiful way to give quality design new life.

The figurine is ideal as a gift for the collector, for the design enthusiast or for anyone who loves animal figurines in ceramics and stoneware. The small size makes it easy to place, while the strong design language ensures that it is still noticed.
