For sale is a superb figurine of an concertina / accordion
playing monkey / ape which is part of the Vienna Tierhamoniker (a play
on the Philharmonic and Tier means animal) made by Augarten in the early
20th century . These are some of the earliest pieces made by Augarten
and this piece is from the original period! The monkey was designed by
Karin Jarl in the early days of the factory. Superbly modeled and
left in the white to show off all that nice modeling. A really fun
figurine. The monkey is holding a concertina in his hands and looks to
be having a great old time with his mouth open showing all the teeth.
The figure is 3.25 inches tall, 2.875 inches wide and 2 inches deep. The
piece is in perfect condition and marked underneath with the blue
shield with the crown on top as well as the word Wien underneath and
Augarten Austria in a red rectangle that is mostly gone but can still be
seen to know he is from the original period. Impressed model number
1583. Affe Austrian 20thC antique Affenkapelle
