Bowie by Jerome and Colette Maillot, Vintage Bears, France

£425.00

This large and outstanding bear is made of unusual, hand-dyed and distressed, long pile, pale green mohair with deeply set black glass eyes, a waxed thread nose, and hand-painted shading on his face and wool felt paws. Densely and heavily filled with a mixture of wood shavings and mineral granules, Bowie wears a printed, French linen collar tipped with old-looking brass bells. (If sold to a buyer outside the UK there will be a GBP55 surcharge towards the airmail cost.)
