Classic Teddy Bear: A Brief Description

The Steiff 028679 Classic Teddy Bear is a charming 23 cm creation that beautifully reflects Steiff’s heritage of craftsmanship. This edition, is sized at 23 centimetres—a design choice intended to evoke both nostalgic warmth and practical display appeal.

Materials and Craftsmanship

Made from the finest mohair, its coat has a soft, slightly wavy texture that gives the bear a warm, inviting appearance. The natural golden-brown shade of the mohair lends it a traditional look, reminiscent of the earliest Steiff bears. This teddy bear is fully jointed, allowing the head, arms, and legs to move freely, so it can be posed in a sitting or standing position. The face is meticulously hand-stitched, with a delicately formed nose and mouth giving it a gentle expression. Its black glass eyes are bright and expressive, catching the light to create a lifelike, endearing gaze.

The bear wears a delightful pair of miniature dungarees, tailored to fit perfectly. The dungarees are made of a soft, durable fabric with a classic cut, adding to the bear’s personality and giving it a playful, vintage charm. Small details such as neatly stitched hems and secure straps enhance the impression of a carefully finished garment.

Presentation and Significance

As with all genuine Steiff creations, this bear carries the signature “Button in Ear” – a small metal button and yellow tag – a mark of authenticity and a nod to Steiff’s rich history. Its compact size of 23 cm makes it an ideal display piece, while its traditional materials and jointed design make it equally appealing to collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate a classic teddy bear in traditional dress.
