Set of 3 Cheeky Monkeys Faceted Etched Figurines - Grey

Our set of three cheeky monkey figurines takes the old proverb of see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil and gives it a crisp, faceted look. Each monkey sits with its knees drawn up and its tail curling round at the side: the first covers its eyes, the second its ears and the third its mouth. Their bodies are shaped in flat, angled planes, like folded paper, and every edge is picked out with fine etched lines in a darker tone. The colour is a soft, warm grey, so the set sits easily with natural wood, stone, linen and painted walls alike. They stand 14.4cm tall, so they fit comfortably on most shelves.

Set them in a row along a mantelpiece, a bookshelf or a deep windowsill, where the three poses read as a little story from left to right. They suit a study desk or a hallway console, and the neutral grey lets them settle into a modern room of clean lines or a more traditional one with older furniture. Because the three come together, you can keep them side by side or spread them across a shelf with books and plants between them. They make a good-humoured gift for anyone who enjoys a wry nod to the old proverb.

Each figure has a smooth surface with the etched lines worked into it, which gives the facets depth when light falls across them. The backs carry the same faceted pattern, so they look complete from every side and work on an open shelf or a table seen all the way round. To keep them looking their best, dust them with a soft dry cloth, or wipe them with a damp cloth and dry them straight away. For a tidy finish, line them up with a small gap between each, so every pose can be read at a glance.
