Long to Reign Over Us is fully jointed and sewn from a luxurious mohair with wool felt paw pads. Her two tone brown eyes and hand stitched features adds a pretty appeal, whilst her dazzling crown and ermine trimmed robe prove her status. A turn-key Music Box plays -God save the Queen-.
For over a century, there has been no other British Monarch to touch the tail coats of the Great Queen Victorias reign. Now, her great-great grandaughter, Queen Elizabeth II, has exceeded this remarkable milestone by surpassing, the record of longevity of reign, originally held.
In fact, our Queen Elizabeth II now has the proud title of the longest reigning monarch of the forty-one Kings and Queens of England since the Norman Conquest. This is a marvellous, historical achievement that Steiff felt honoured to recognise and celebrate, by creating the most remarkable and splendrous bear … Long to Reign Over Us, in her honour.
Long to Reign Over Us, are poignant words that are sung in the National Anthem – God Save the Queen, making them a very fitting name for this extraordinary Bear.
Long to Reign Over Us is 30cm tall and fully jointed. She has been crafted from a decadent Mohair with wool felt paw pads, endearing two tone, brown eyes and sweet hand stitched features. Her right foot features an embroidered musical bar of notes in golden thread. These play the first score in the National Anthem, God Save the Queen. She proudly wears her cornation, satin lined robe of cotton velvet, with faux fur trim, featuring hand painted ermine spots and decorative golden buttons with cord fastening. Resting regally upon her head is a true symbol of splendor, an elaborately detailed crown of metal work and faceted, sparkling crystals. To finish, her turn-key music box plays – God Save the Queen – the British National Anthem that hails back to the eighteenth century.
This fabulously elegant and charasmatic Bear is a UK and Ireland Exclusive of just 2,015 pieces and will come to you boxed, with her numbered certificate of authenticity.
