The Merrythought Bear 18\" all tags, certificate, bag etc. For Sale

I purchased the bear brand new and the bear has never been displayed. The bear has all original paperwork, certificate etc. Note: the plastic bag was torn while taking the bear out of the bag to take photographs and the bear\'s red ribbon came undone. Comes with Merrythought Bear Passport.

Designed by Florence Attwood, The Merrythought Bear was one of her earliest pattern designs, and was described as \'feather-light and beautifully finished\', and made from \'Old Gold\' mohair.

Honouring the details of the original bear, our recreation brings this important teddy bear back to life using the same traditional skills and materials, and is hand-crafted from wavy golden mohair plush, paired with chestnut-coloured pure wool felt paws featuring hand-stitched claw detailing. True to the \'unequalled quality\' of the 1930\'s character, this timeless fully-jointed teddy bear is adorned with a traditional off-centre scarlet satin bow, and \'growls\' when tipped.

As with each character in Merrythought’s Heritage Collection, The Merrythought Bear features an authentic replica of our earliest ‘hygienic toys’ label, and has been individually numbered as a Special Edition. Presented in a pure cotton dust bag with a Certificate of Authenticity.
