Steiff Replica 1908 Teddy Bear - Limited Edition - Bruno

£250.00

In 1908 six coloured Teddy bears were commissioned for presentation in London.

Four of these were never seen again: pink, yellow, green and black. Until now.

By virtue of a passionate knowledgeable Steiff collector, a never seen before black 1908 has been discovered. The Teddy bear’s name is Bruno.

He is singular and compelling, and tremendously skilful work has resulted in this exceptional and significant replica. Our archivist and designers were absorbed by his details. His red stitched claws and fine sculpting gave affirmative evidence of his early date. Our archivist was fascinated to see Bruno’s unusual very noteworthy additional single mouth stitch. One that mirrors the first black Teddy bear made in 1907 as a prototype and which Richard Steiff used to enhance the lifelike appearance of his Teddy bears.

Limited to 1908 pieces, passionate Steiff collectors will want to add Bruno to their hug!
