Three Wise Monkeys – Most Expensive Collectibles Worldwide
Informal Ranking
This is not a “serious” ranking, but rather our little collector’s game 🙂
Here we gather the most fascinating, rare, and… most expensive Three Wise Monkeys in the world – figurines, sculptures, paintings, coins, jewelry, and other unique items inspired by the famous “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” motif.
Why “informal” ranking?
Because sometimes – in fact, quite often – the true value of a monkey figurine has nothing to do with its price.
Pieces created by someone for someone, filled with emotions, memories, and personal stories, can be priceless – far more valuable than even the most luxurious models sold at Christie’s or Sotheby’s auctions.
That’s why we approach this with a bit of humor and curiosity 😉
We’ll showcase the most fascinating items here, be amazed by their prices, admire their craftsmanship, and sometimes… simply smile in disbelief.
In the world of the Three Wise Monkeys, it’s not only about the price – it’s about the stories, the emotions, and the magic hidden in the smallest details. 🐒✨
