Matthias, the Nostalgia Teddy bear - 40cm Ean 036460
Steiff's series of nostalgia bears is designed to take you back to the golden age of Teddy bears the era when Steiff's legendary classics were first produced.
Matthias, a completely different style Teddy bear, but one that is equally, if not more, appealing than his predecessor. Matthias is a cone-nosed bear“ with a very pronounced tapering snout.
While the origin of this particular style is not definitely known, some experts have speculated that, during the Teddy bear boom of the early 1900's, Steiff artisans, facing tight production deadlines, deviated from their assigned patterns and sewed these unique creations. Now quite rare, cone-nosed bears are extremely desirable to collectors. We developed Matthias to recapture the nostalgic appeal of this special style of bears.
He has a lovely, golden blond coat with the tips of his mohair lightly bleached for a frosted effect as if he had perhaps been sitting in the sun. Befitting an old-style bear, his head is loosely jointed and wobbly, adding to his charm. If you're looking for a truly unique Teddy bear to add to your collection, Matthias is the Teddy bear for you.
