Product Description

Inspired by their love of the jungle and its inhabitants, Arthur and Elena Court designed this wonderfully whimsical and fabulously functional monkey banana holder. The banana leaf base design, made of Arthur Court’s signature premium aluminum alloy, creates a well for the 9 inch frosted glass shallow bowl to sit, displaying your favorite fruit. The handle attaches to the base on one side and curves upward toward a hook to hold bananas while they ripen naturally. A darling family of monkeys climb upward on the handle, seemingly to investigate how the ripening process is coming along. After all, monkeys should know that, unlike most other fruits, the banana actually develops better flavor when picked green and ripened off the bush.

Truly one-of-a-kind, there is no need to worry about duplicating gifts when giving this charming and whimsical banana holder from Arthur Court. The piece is both functional and a unique countertop ornament. Standing 17 inches in height, a long, sturdy arch stretched over the accompanying bowl while carrying two inquisitive monkeys. One of the monkey tails hangs down from the top to form a banana hook designed to suspend the yellow fruit in the air. Featuring the designer’s premium signature aluminum alloy, the round base measures 9-1/2 inches across and comfortably houses a frosted, white glass bowl. This bowl can ably cradle a sizeable collection of additional fruits if desired. Heavyweight and sturdy, the piece won’t bend or tip and its simple assembly consists only of inserting and tightening the two included screws. Hand washing is recommended to preserve metal’s shiny surface. — Amy Arnold
