It is antique says Mr. Swiss, and he should know because he is a golden oldie, like me, so he recognises antique brass when sees it. Mr. Swiss brought these three wise monkeys with him when we married, and they still have a special place on his desk. Speak no evil, see no evil and hear no evil – so what could be better.
I love them!

It is a sort of family thing, but I have idea where Mr. Swiss got them and he has also forgotten.

My mum, who loved monkeys, had a similar set. I still have them but currently packed away as I make slow progress towards getting ready to paint the living room. Mum’s were bought in Englad but other than that I know nothing about them. She had them when I was little so they are old.

I think they were very popular in the 20th century. I am glad we still have ours. I was surprised at the details that appeared on the photo.

These monkeys take me back to my childhood. What a great CYW entry for antique brass.

When I saw the colour, I knew what I wanted to photograph. Luckily Mr.Swiss keeps it on his desk.
