Royal Copenhagen monkey figurine 20217 6,5 cm stoneware Knud Kyhn

This small monkey figurine from Royal Copenhagen is a characterful example of Knud Kyhn's sure eye for animals in simple, lively forms. The figurine measures 6,5 cm and is made of stoneware with a dark, deep glaze, where the warm brownish nuances emerge along the face, hands and feet. This gives the figurine a calm weight and at the same time a fine play in the surface.

The monkey is modelled in a compact, seated position with the arms raised up around the head, which gives it a thoughtful and almost human expression. It is precisely this blend of humour, presence and understanding of form that makes Knud Kyhn's animal figurines so popular among collectors and design enthusiasts. Here, the lines are soft and rounded, while the face is kept simple, allowing the figurine's attitude to stand out clearly.

As a Royal Copenhagen stoneware figurine, this monkey fits both into the collection of Danish animal figurines and as a decorative feature in the home. It works beautifully on a shelf, in a bookcase or on a desk, where the small size makes it easy to place. The figurine can also be combined with other animal figurines in ceramics and porcelain, if you want a personal arrangement with classic Danish design.

For many, Knud Kyhn's figurines are sought after precisely because they unite sculptural simplicity with a warm and recognisable animal motif. It is a figurine that one notices, and which at the same time is easy to live with in the interior. An obvious gift idea for collectors of Royal Copenhagen, for the design enthusiast or for you who are fond of small figurines with expression and personality.
