Royal Copenhagen monkey 5 cm stoneware figurine no. 20218 Knud Kyhn

This small monkey from Royal Copenhagen is a fine example of Knud Kyhn's sense for capturing animals with a few confident lines and plenty of character. The figurine measures 5 cm and has a calm, composed expression, where the monkey sits close around itself with its head slightly bowed and its hands drawn in toward the body. The dark glaze with warm, light shades on the highlighted areas gives the figurine depth and life, even in the small format.

Knud Kyhn is known for his animal figurines, and right here you can sense the organic design language that has made his work sought after among collectors of Danish design and Royal Copenhagen figurines. The monkey is modeled with soft transitions and a compact silhouette, while the face, hands and feet stand out clearly and add personality. It is a stoneware figurine that appears both simple and expressive at the same time.

A small Royal Copenhagen monkey like this easily fits into the home, where it can stand on a shelf, in a windowsill or as part of a smaller collection of animal figurines and Danish stoneware. It is also an obvious gift for collectors, design enthusiasts or for someone who loves classic figurines with history and character. Older design like this has a special ability to add soul to the home, and it is at the same time a beautiful way to choose lasting quality objects over new production.

With its modest format and strong expression, this monkey figurine is a charming collector's item that shows how much presence can lie in a small figurine. It works both on its own and together with other ceramic animals, where the dark glaze and the rounded shape create a calm, decorative whole.
