Steiff Archive Collection
Since the beginning of Steiff’s company history in 1880, Margarete Steiff and her nephews have lovingly preserved every newly developed pattern.
Over time, this special collection has grown into the Steiff archive – a treasure trove in which almost all Steiff’s creations have found their place from the iconic plush friends and felt dolls to wooden toys and historical documents.
Some models have even been preserved in multiple duplicates and tell of the care and dedication that went into each design. World of Bears is one of a handful of World-Wide retailers that is working in partnership with Steiff by making available these original Steiff duplicates from the heart of the Steiff
archive in Giengen an der Brenz to be in your hands.

This endearing feathered friend has long been associated with the festivities of Christmas and the cold of winter, featuring on many cards, decorations and seasonal use accessories … it's the Christmas Robin a timeless example by Steiff.
Christmas Robin is 4" / 10cm tall and non-jointed. He has been sewn from the finest mohair in hues of white, auburn and grey bringing form to his dainty form, whilst his long wool felt tail feathers, have been carefully hand painted and shaded, plus his wee glossy eyes shine brightly, enhancing the smallest of beaks. Beneath him is a sprig of green wool felt holly leaves and red berries, again embellished by hand to define. The entire piece has an integrated metal spring clip, ensuring his safety upon a tree branch or advent wreath. A beautiful decoration for any bird lover to keep out all year round too!.
This mini masterpiece is a Worldwide Limited Edition of only 2,007 pieces and will come to you boxed with his numbered certificate of authenticity.
