1950s Britains Zoo Series Monkey Flat Lead Figure on Original Stand

A playful monkey silhouette with a small white collar and a visibly timeworn finish.

This original 1950s monkey was made by Britains Ltd for its Zoo Series. Its flat cast lead construction and original stand give it a graphic profile, with white collar detail remaining among the worn paint.

The pose gives this small figure an expressive character, whether it recalls a childhood animal set or simply appeals as an unusual miniature. Significant paint loss leaves its age clearly visible.

At 3 cm tall, it fits neatly into a printer’s tray, small cabinet or miniature zoo scene. Display it side on against a plain background to show the outline, adding a playful detail beside books and contemporary ceramics.

A distinctive British animal figure with an animated profile and a history of its own.
