Early Teak & Limba Wood Monkey
Kay Bojesen, 1951
Atelier Kay Bojesen, Denmark Description

A vintage handmade wooden monkey figure, an icon of 20th Century Danish design, conceived by Kay Bojesen in 1951. This example dates to the early-mid 1960s, and has a beautiful rich patina and depth of colour absent from more recent production pieces.With its stylised hooked hands and feet, it looks as great hanging off a shelf as it does sat on one.Each part of the monkey is hand-turned from solid teak, with limba-wood highlights. The limbs are attached with elastic and are fully posable. The hands and feet are jointed and are still as stable as when they were made.The elastic holding the limbs has been recently renewed with official Kay Bojesen parts, so it will be secure for many years to come. Whilst it was apart, it was carefully cleaned and finished using a very high quality Danish oil.It is stamped to the sole of the left foot \'Kay Bojesen - Denmark - Copyright\'.

Features Material:Solid teak & Limba-wood Height (head to foot):190mm / 7.5\" Country of Origin:Denmark Period of Manufacture:1960s-1970s Vintage Condition:Very occasional and very light marks, but none terribly noticeable. Generally, excellent. About Us

Messrs. Nicholas Wilson and Ashley Coleman, the constituent parts of Wilson & Coleman, are dedicated - addicted - to finding wonderful vintage and contemporary interior design objects and works of decorative art from around the world.We shun the ease of buying from dull and predictable wholesalers and \"antiques warehouses\", and everything we acquire has been individually sourced, often in very limited runs. This means that although we present mostly 20th and 21st Century European objects of vertu we never know exactly what we\'ll next discover on our travels.We do know, however, that it will never be boring.Selecting items individually also means that there will always be a consistent level of taste, quality and coherence that runs throughout our collections. We would never present anything that we would not absolutely love to own ourselves.
