Seated with its knees drawn forward, the chimpanzee holds a small rectangular tray between its hands, creating an unexpected and functional decorative accent.

The sculpture is particularly engaging for its remarkably detailed facial expression, prominent ears, sculpted fingers and toes, and richly textured surface. Its substantial, rounded silhouette gives the piece a strong visual presence, while the integrated tray makes it an appealing valet for small personal accessories or a distinctive tabletop conversation piece.

Equally at home in a Hollywood Regency interior, an eclectic collector's library, a sophisticated Palm Springs residence, or a playful maximalist setting, this characterful sculpture brings personality and a touch of irreverence to a beautifully curated space.

The dark bronze-tone finish displays tonal variation and surface character. It is unclear to us whether this charming chimpanzee is cast bronze (it weighs about 12 lbs) or ceramic or a cast meterial that is reson like but certainly much heavier than what would be expected from Resin. It looks like bronze and feels like bronze or metal of some sort. We cannot locate the maker or provide the exact date of manufacture or country of origin.
