Also, because we know that this rare and good quality Swiss bear is going to make somebody's desk or table look extra special. This piece we actually found in its country of origin, but we expect it to grace one of our American client's homes soon.

This handcarved, stylish and highly decorative antique is great value for money. Especially when taken into account that our fair price includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days.
