Comprising 22 figures (1840-1950) Each monkey is either playing an instrument or singing, one conductor with his music stand. 13/14 cm high Conductor: 18 cm high * A similar collection sold at Christie’s sale no. 2545, lot no. 433 for $ 20,000. ** Originally designed by Kandler with help from Reinicke 1753-66. The monkey orchestra is considered the crown jewel of Meissen’s figures and they carried on making this series for many years. A full collection of the orchestra is considered to be very rare, even among the most well-known Meissen collections. The Monkey Orchestra was likely a satire on Emperor Augustus’ court, it speaks to the free man who does not accept the feudal system.
