About the Item

Beautifully carved Art Deco figurine of two monkeys in tropical wood. First half of the 20th century. An adult monkey and a young monkey are seen in a dynamic and lifelike situation. This is a beautifully sculpted statue from all sides. The grain and colors of the wood also play a beautiful and important role in this sculpture. The beautifully and sharply carved hands and heads of the monkeys are a good example of stylized Art Deco. This sculpture is not signed, but is likely made by a very talented end experienced artist. Furthermore, the characteristic basic shape of the sculpture - like the bow of a ship - is interesting and characteristic of Art Deco design. The sculpture is in very good condition.
