Steiff's British Collectors' Teddy Bear 2003 36cm (14¼")

Margarete Steiff's nephew Richard Steiff, a purist and perfectionist, continued to bring originality and imagination with each and every new design and brillantly read the mood of the world correctly, adapting his bears to blend with the needs and the trends of the era. The 1920s saw an era of excitement, an era in which Richard Steiff excelled once more.
Faced with the challenge of restoring Giengen to the Toy Capital of the world, Richard embraced the 1920s with a fresh new range of bears, which conquered the contest, and recovery reached an unrivalled level. The master of the design, dedicated to his passion and committed to his desire to design the very best, launched a brand-new "look" in the 1920s.

A style and design of bear that fulfilled ones dreams and imagination. A Teddy bear that would uplift the world, bring comfort, but above all make you smile. A bear that totally embodied the energy and lust for life that became synonymous with the "roaring twenties".
As a tribute to the most dazzling decade of the past 100 years Steiff are proud to present a fine replica from the golden twenties, alive with life and bursting with colour, he sparkles as a true jewel in the crown. 36cm (14¼"). Limited edition of 4,000 pieces and featuring proudly the gold-plated "Button in Ear", the British Collectors' Teddy bear 2003 is exclusively available to the UK and Ireland. (EAN 660702).
