About the Item
Antique Steiff Long Hair Gold Mohair Teddy Bear ''Alastair,' C. 1900s
Attributed to Steiff, unmarked, Germany, earlier 20th century
Meet "Alastair," a charming and rare antique teddy bear attributed to Steiff, made in Germany in the early 20th century. Standing 16.5 inches high, 10 inches wide, and 5.75 inches deep, this delightful bear showcases the timeless appeal and craftsmanship associated with early Steiff creations, despite the absence of its identifying button.
Alastair is made from long-haired gold mohair, now beautifully aged to reflect its history and well-loved condition. He features a smiling face with endearing, rounded ears, a barrel chest, and characteristically elongated arms and legs, hallmarks of Steiff bears from this period. His proportions and expressive design make him a remarkable example of early teddy bear artistry.
This bear is not just a toy but a treasured piece of history, embodying the warmth and nostalgia of childhoods past. Despite some signs of wear consistent with age, Alastair has retained his charm and remains sturdy, ready to bring joy to a new home or collection.
Perfect for anyone, including collectors of antique teddy bears. Alastair is a rare find that tells a story of love, comfort, and timeless appeal. He is ready to be cherished and admired for years to come.
