Paddington Bear: A Brief Description

Steiff’s Paddington at the Premier is a masterfully crafted tribute to Britain’s most beloved bear, celebrating his star-studded cinematic debut in 2017. Limited to just 2,017 pieces worldwide — a nod to the year of his big screen adventure — this exclusive edition is a distinguished addition to any serious Steiff or Paddington collection. First appearing in 1958, Paddington has become an emblem of kindness, curiosity, and adventure, and this lovingly detailed Steiff interpretation pays tribute to his legacy with all the refinement and craftsmanship one expects from the esteemed German toymaker.

Materials and Craftsmanship

Standing a charming 25 cm tall, Paddington is meticulously handmade from the finest chestnut-coloured mohair, chosen for its deep, warm hue and sumptuous feel. His mohair is softly waved, lending him a lively and affectionate appearance. Paddington’s endearing expression is captured through his glossy black glass eyes and a hand-stitched nose, framed by Steiff’s signature gold-plated “Button in Ear” — the ultimate mark of authenticity and craftsmanship.

Detailing

For this very special occasion, Paddington is dressed to impress wearing an immaculately tailored black tuxedo. The tuxedo is exquisitely detailed, featuring a smart white shirt front and delicate bow tie, giving Paddington an air of elegant sophistication befitting a movie premiere. Topping off his outfit is his iconic wide-brimmed red felt hat, lovingly recreated in vibrant colour and true to his much-loved storybook and film appearance. Paddington carries his famous suitcase and has his own platform with red carpet.

Limited Edition Features

Each Paddington Bear is individually numbered as part of a worldwide limited edition, and comes with an official Steiff certificate of authenticity, ensuring its value as both a collector’s item and an heirloom.

Presentation and Significance

Presented in a Steiff gift box, Paddington is accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity, confirming his place in the edition of 2017 pieces. The strict limitation of 2,017 pieces enhances the bear’s exclusivity and desirability, making him a true collector’s piece. As a collector’s item, he is not intended as a toy, but rather as a cherished keepsake to be displayed and admired. Charming, nostalgic, and crafted to the highest standards, Paddington at the Premier captures the heart-warming spirit of Paddington Bear’s journey and Steiff’s timeless dedication to excellence.
