Royal Copenhagen Faun with flute figurine no. 1736

Royal Copenhagen Faun with flute figurine no. 1736 is an atmospheric porcelain figurine with a classic fairy-tale expression. The figurine depicts a small faun, seated absorbed in his playing of the flute, with pointed ears, bowed head and a calm, introspective posture. This gives the figurine an almost poetic character, where music, nature and fantasy merge into one motif.

Christian Thomsen has created a figurine where the soft shapes and the fine modelling give the motif life and presence. The glazed surface in white and blue shades emphasizes the figurine's calm expression and highlights both the face, hands and the characteristic faun body. The flute is held close to the body, and that very detail makes the figurine especially appealing to collectors of fauns, trolls and other mythological Royal Copenhagen figurines.

As a porcelain figurine from Royal Copenhagen, this faun appeals both to collectors and to those who want a figurine with history and personality in the interior. It fits beautifully in the display cabinet, on a shelf among other Danish porcelain or as a decorative feature in a more modern home, where classic figurines add warmth and character. Older porcelain figurines like this are also a fine choice for those who appreciate good craftsmanship and the joy of preserving design that is created to last for generations.

Faun with flute is also an obvious gift idea for a collector of Royal Copenhagen figurines or for someone who is fond of fairy-tale motifs, musical figurines and Danish porcelain art. It is a figurine that not only decorates, but also tells a little story through its motif and its formal language.
