Description
An aristocratic portrait takes a whimsical turn with this intriguing canvas and its well-turned-out, characterful subject, Edmond the Monkey. Presented in a dark wood-effect frame with an inner gold rim, this picture has been reproduced using the oleograph technique of texturing a print to resemble an oil painting. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings?
Our Stylist Says
I love Edmond The Monkey as a playful, thought-provoking piece that works well in eclectic or modern interiors. Its size makes it ideal for a focal point above a console table or shelf, adding character without overwhelming the space. The humorous juxtaposition of a traditionally regal portrait with a monkey adds personality and charm. To style it effectively, consider pairing it with other quirky or vintage items, or anchor it within a gallery wall with mixed media for a curated look. Its classic black frame also makes it versatile enough to complement both bold or neutral colour schemes, making it a fun yet sophisticated addition to a living room, study, or even a child’s space.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
