This listing is for a wonderful teddy bear hand made from the
antique fur coat of a nonagenarian’s mother. We are unsure as to the type of
fur but believe it to be either mink or fox. Either way, this fur is incredibly
luxurious and soft with white silky under fur and grey tipped guard hairs. The
coat that this bear was made from was incredibly well crafted featuring a “leathered”
construction. Leathering was a technique used to combat the extreme weight of
high quality, dense furs where small strips of sueded leather were inserted
between strips of pelt. When finished the look is of smooth fur at half the
weight! This bear is fully jointed in the arms, legs, and head with black
leather pads on his feet and in his ears along with a black yarn nose. Also,
around his neck is a silky rainbow hued bowtie. He has the cutest face we’ve
ever seen on a teddy bear! The fluffy sheared fur underneath his nose puffs our
giving him an adorable under-bite! The craftsmanship in this bear is second to
none with tight, neat stitching and attention to detail. The bottom right foot
is signed and dated by the artist. Just as all antique furs have their own
unique look, there will never be another bear like this charming fellow. Don’t
miss out on your chance to own this cuddly piece of history! Please look closely at all images as they are part of the
