Rare Bronze Glazed Terracotta Chimpanzee Sculpture by Johannes Robert Korn, 1895

About the Item

Wonderful and large original antique sculpture of a beautiful chimpanzee / ape. Over the years we have owned and sold a fair number of beautiful quality sculptures in all kinds of materials, but we never had the pleasure of offering a sculpture as realistic and museum quality as this good size terracotta chimpanzee young. The perfect anatomy and posture of this top quality sculpture immediately convinced us to purchase it. What also made us not hesitate was the fact that it is in mint condition and it really has a unique presence. For a matt glazed terracotta sculpture of more than one hundred years of age to be in this, superb condition shows the respect that former owners had for this wonderful young chimp sculpture. No matter where you decide to have her on display, this antique and endearing work of art will never fail to impress. So if you already have a place in mind for this stunning chimpanzee sculpture, then maybe you should be its next custodian. Our fair price for this grand sculpture even includes perfect packing and also worldwide shipping from our store to your door in just 4 days. Maximum width x height x depth: 13.4 x 10.6 x 9.5 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again). You can shop all our 1000+ listings by pushing the button that reads 'View All From Seller'.
