About the Item

This is a very RARE pair of antique shakers hand-wrought in sterling silver by the craftsmen of Edward Charles Brown of London England in 1867. These lifelike little monkeys are reminiscent of the organ grinder’s monkeys with their oriental styled costumes and each holding a small coin box. The monkeys have realistic brown glass eyes and are in exceptional condition with the original parcel gilding accents. Both Victorian era monkey shakers have serial numbers and are marked on the under bases and present patent registration marks. These monkey shakers measure 3.5” inches tall and weigh 121.15 grams.
