Standing at 20cm tall, this beautifully crafted piece showcases Steiff’s signature attention to detail and exceptional quality, making him a treasured collector’s item.

Materials and Craftsmanship

Tom is meticulously made from the finest  mohair, chosen for its soft, luxurious texture. His beautifully blended grey and white fur gives him a modern yet classic aesthetic, with subtle hand-airbrushed shading enhancing his depth and lifelike quality. The variation in colour highlights his distinctive character. Jerry is also crafted from the finest mohair. His plush coat is a rich russet and the lighter cream tones on his muzzle, chest, and inner ears create a striking contrast, bringing out his classic and instantly recognisable appearance.

Detailing

Tom’s face is expertly sculpted, featuring a hand-stitched nose in black thread, finely embroidered to add texture and authenticity. His large, expressive glass eyes are full of warmth and intelligence. The attention to detail in his facial features makes him an exceptionally charming and lifelike companion. The stitching on his front paws is precise and intricate, adding to his refined, handcrafted look. His body is firmly yet gently filled, ensuring he maintains his shape while remaining soft to the touch. Tom has a three-way jointed design, allowing his head and arms to move freely, making him wonderfully poseable. His proportions are carefully balanced giving him a charming and huggable stance. Jerry’s face is meticulously sculpted, featuring a delicately embroidered nose, expressive whiskers, and large embroidered eyes that capture his lively personality. Jerry’s felt-lined ears are proportionally oversized, true to his cheeky and energetic character design. His tiny paws and feet are stitched with precision, allowing him to stand upright with a perfectly balanced stance. His plump body and gently curved limbs further enhance his playful and endearing expression. Jerry has a jointed head, making him a poseable and charming display piece.
