Monkeys, chimpanzees and the like are always a favorite. Their intelligence and personality connect easily with us, one of their closest cousins.
It might not be practical to bring a real one to your home, but it’s sure wonderful to have a statue of them. They make great reminder of favorite children’s books and movies. They also remind us of how to behave – and how not to behave.
Pick your spot and choose your chimp and liven up the house with one of these fantastic figurines!
Chico the Chimpanzee Baby Monkey Hanging Animal Statue
This great piece from Design Toscano is actually designed to hang – just add a hook to your ceiling, or find a nice branch for it outdoors. You’ll easily have your only little chimp swinging through your grounds!
The image is hand-cast from resin bonded with crushed stone. It’s also hand-painted. It measures 7 inches wide by 6.5 inches by 16 inches high (that’s the size of the monkey, not including the rope) – so you’re getting a nice-sized piece with this. It weighs three pounds. Probably NOT a good idea to hang this over a crib or play area because of the weight, though.
It’s a really nice piece – just be sure to tie it tightly! A great way to add something special.
Hear-No, See-No, Speak-No Evil Monkeys Animal Statue
It’s advice we probably all heard as children: “Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil.” And this statuette is a great visual reminder of it!
The image itself is nothing new; it’s commonly associated with the dictum. But it’s always good to have a reminder around. According to the manufacturer, this style of image dates to the Victorian era and was popularized by explorer on their return to England.
This measures 7″ x 3.5″ x 5″ and weighs 3 lbs. It’s made of cast resin and has a faux bronze finish to give it a classier look.
Charles Darwin’s Ape Human Evolution Figurine Animal Statue
Thinking over the deep things in life? This chimp is along for the ride! He sits on a stack of books contemplating a human skull in tribute to Darwin’s theory of evolution. It also clearly draws inspiration from Rodin’s “The Thinker”
The statue measures 5″ x 4″ x 8″ and weighs 3 lbs. It’s great for a study, library or office – or anywhere you like to sit and think. It’s heavy enough to be used as a bookend.
It cast of resin bonded with crushed stone and has a faux bronze and ivory finish.
- Hand-cast using real crushed stone bonded with high quality designer resin
- Bronze and Ivory finish
- Exclusive to the Design Toscano brand and perfect for your home or garden

Stacked Monkeys See Hear Speak No Evil Collectible
Another take on “Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil”, this one has the monkeys on top of one another. It’s a great piece if you have limited desk space or if you just want to go for a different look.
The monkeys have a more natural coloring. They sit on a faux wood base and are made of polyresin. The entire piece measures 8 1/2″ high.
Obviously it’s not a very large piece, but still cute and will be a great piece wherever you decide to use it.
