Meissen Monkey Orchestra Triangle Player

The "Triangle Player" is one of the famous "Monkey Chapel" collectible figures, originally created in 1753 by Johann Joachim Kaendler and reissued in 2020 by modeler Silke Ebermann - to the delight of many lovers of exclusive collectible figures with a passion for Meissen arts and crafts.

Kaendler, Meissen's first model master and one of the greats of his craft, held an ironic mirror up to courtly society with his hand-painted figurines, lovable monkeys in noble human dresses. Then as now, assembled by hand as well as hand-painted, Kaendler's monkeys possess a special charm. As individual pieces or ensemble, each figure of the total of 21 monkey musicians carries a part of the history of MEISSEN.
