This stunning example is 28yrs old, (released in 1988) and showcases the original pattern and design, that were the exponent of the first, generation of teddy bears. This 1907 Replica has been recrafted to resemble the original, in almost every wax, with one exception – his nose. In 1907 sealing wax had been used, but over time it had become so brittle and deterioated, that it was decided, by the Steiff artisans, to use leather in its place.
Schwarzbar or Black Bear is 40cm tall and fully jointed. He has been sewn from an indulgently, luxurious jet black mohair with contrasting, cream wool felt paws. he has been traditionally stuffed with excelsior, with large, gloss black eyes. His claws are sewn from vibrant red thread, whilst his smart, leather nose has been defined with a gentler, brown hue … glorious!!
