Product description
This is a bronze sculpture from the mid-twentieth century, mounted on a marble base. The work depicts the iconic motif of the three wise monkeys, representing 'see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil'.
The three figures are crafted from bronze with a dark patina, providing depth and texture to the detailed design. The monkeys rest on a rectangular base of grey-beige mottled marble, which forms an elegant contrast with the dark metal. This piece is representative of figurative decorative art from the 1950s and is presumably of European manufacture.
The overall condition of the sculpture is good and consistent with its age. Over the years, the bronze has developed a characteristic appearance that contributes to the authenticity of the object. The marble base is original and forms an integral part of the whole.
Due to its compact size, this sculpture is a refined addition to a desk, bookshelf, or dresser. It fits seamlessly into various interior styles, from classic and eclectic to Mid-Century Modern, and functions as a subtle yet meaningful decorative accent.
