This nearly antique burgundy coloured miniature silk plush teddy came from France with a little parcel of very old things including one or two toys which dated from around 1900 to late 1920’s at the latest so I imagine he is the same age – likely late 1920’s.
This cutie has jointed arms, legs and head, although the head barely turns anymore and is pretty well fixed into position. He measures just 3.25 inches – just over 8cms. The nose and mouth is original, stitched in dark red thread. The eyes are miniature glass beads, and he has a very faded original ribbon bow stitched at his neck. He is stuffed with something firm.
He is probably unique – possibly made by someone skilled in the home rather than a factory – I don’t actually know. Either way, he is a very charming old vintage bear for a collector. I’ve enjoyed having his funny little plum coloured self sitting amongst my bits and bobs. But he deserves a better home where someone can display him kindly, rather than sitting in a box on his own rattling about with with pens, antique playing cards, ribbons and buttons.
Thank you for looking at him.
