Description

Standing approximately 8 inches tall, this ruby-coated gentleman monkey cuts a fine figure in his dark red coat with gold button detail, contrasting blue breeches, white stockings, and buckled black shoes. He carries a small object under one arm and wears the signature black fez cap emblazoned with crossed hammers in gold, a nod to the classic Singerie or Masonic monkey tradition. The base mimics rough-hewn rock, and the underside bears a stamped warning reading NOT FOR FOOD USE MAY POISON FOOD FOR DECORATIVE ONLY, confirming later 20th-century manufacture with lead-based glazes.

This amber-coated monkey stands with both hands planted boldly on his hips, radiating the energy of a man who owns every room he enters. Dressed in a rich caramel-toned coat with gold button accents, grey breeches, and polished black shoes, he shares the same black fez with crossed gold hammers as his companions. Well-glazed with a warm marbled finish on the reverse, this figurine is in solid displayable condition with no visible chips or losses noted.

The third figure cuts a dashing silhouette in deep forest green with contrasting burnt orange breeches and a sash-style coat adorned with gold dot buttons. One arm is raised in a contemplative or oratorical gesture, lending him an air of authority among the trio. Like his companions, he stands on a mottled grey rocky base and bears the same decorative-use-only stamp on the unglazed underside. Together these three form a spirited and highly collectible set of anthropomorphic porcelain figures in the grand European Singerie tradition.
