Bertie by Liz, Forget-me-Not Bears, England, made in 1999

£295.00

Cute, very small and vintage-looking, this tactile bear is made of distressed and extensively hand-plucked, short pile, old gold mohair with shiny black glass eyes, a ‘worn away’ mouth and aged linen paw pads. His wood shavings stuffing is visible through a small hole under his nose and threads of his claws are deliberately loose – for an aged effect. Softly and heavily filled with a mixture of wood shavings and mineral granules, he wears plaid shorts supported by matching braces (suspenders). Number 16 of the edition, he is as new with certificate.
