Rare early velvet Steiff begging dog with button
A rarely seen, early miniature Steiff velvet dog made in a begging position. Known as Teo, he still has his underscored’ff’ earbuton c. 1908, and sits 10 cms (4) high. All original, except for his neck ribbon, Teo has tiny black bead eyes, and an embroidered mouth with some faint red airbrushing above it. Woodwool-stuffed, there’s some slight settlement to his right ankle, so he needs a little persuasion to sit on his hind legs. But once erect, he usually stays that way and doesn’t topple over! There’s a scrap of his original collar remaining, along with strands of neck cord and, overall, he’s in good hound dog condition, with just a patch of discolouration to his back. This cute diddy character travels with his homemade velvet cushion, and is shown with his feline friend Tabitha, available in a separate listing.
