Rare Antique Austrian jointed Teddy Bear Central Seam Strawstuffed (early 1900s)

Posted by admin On January 7, 2025

This rare antique Austrian jointed Teddy Bear with central seam is a true gem for any bear collector. With a size of 20 cm, this bear is – I believe – made of cotton (hard to determine) and straw filled dating back to the early 1900s. I received it around 40 years ago from someone who’s grandmother had owned it before handing it down to her daughter, who in turn later gave it to her own daughter (who gifted it to me). Some years ago, the straw stuffing had come out one of the legs and I had it repaired by a Teddybear Clinic. It’s still in quite a good condition, considering that it’s more than 100 years old (note the pointed snout, hand stitched mouth and upwards pointing felt backed paws). A true collector’s item.
