Gideon - New Smaller Classic Teddy Bear

Gideon Classic Teddy Bear

Single bear ref 003/25

Friday 9th, May 7:30pm

Gideon is now SOLD

Gideon is a traditional five joint teddy bear.  The third bear this year and this time a little smaller at just over 14 inches tall.

He is made from a short yellowish corn colour mohair on a darker cloth.  I have given the fur a fatigued finish, some thinned areas and some matting to give it a care worn appearance.  The wool felt paw pads are very slightly shaded so that they don't look too new and the nose embroidery is similarly lightly fatigued.

Gideon is fully filled with excelsior wood wool, left a little loose in some areas to add to the effect of an old bear,  care worn but not excessively.  He has vintage boot button eyes.

His waistcoat is made from English wool tweed with five buttons.  Lining and back are cotton. It is individually tailored to fit Gideon and edge stitched by hand to neaten the outline of the tweed.  The cravat neck tie is very long enabling a number of different knots but it is supposed to look very crumpled and casual whatever the style.  Keep scrolling after the following details to see more pictures of Gideon.

Gideon is 14.5 inches ( 37 cms ) standing and 10 inches ( 26 pms ) seated

Price £385.00 ( Now Sold )

Peregrine Classic Teddy Bear

 Peregrine is a new larger sized classic Teddy Bear

Available from 18:00 UK time, 31st January 2025 SOLD

A new pattern for the first bear of 2025. I wanted to revise the proportions and create a very traditional looking bear, and in order to give him the feel and presence of a larger old ted decided that I would increase the size to 22 inches.

Description:-

Seated 14.5 inches ( 37 cms)

Standing 22 inches ( 55 pms)

Weight 40 ons ( 1.15kg)

Peregrine is made from a pale corn colour mohair.  The finish is soft, quite dense, and very lightly distressed.

Eyes are vintage boot buttons,  paws made from cotton lined wool felt.

Peregrine has traditional black embroidered nose and claw detail, the nose thread is very slightly distressed to compliment the overall appearance.

A feature of these bears which is very important to me is the weight and feel; he is stuffed with excelsior wood wool, firm in some places but also with looser areas softened with natural wool fibre, a little loose filled around joint areas so that he has some give and that distinctive "crunchy" feel of an old bear who's stuffing has settled a little over the years.

He has a traditional tilt growl voice mechanism.

His waistcoat is English wool herringbone, with a little design feature of a fish tail back, buttons are natural shell and the scarf, tied as a loose Ascot, is cotton print.

Peregrine's purchase price is UK £585.00. Plus Shipping at Cost SOLD

UK Special Delivery £20

International shipping via insured and tracked service will be estimated based on information available and added to the invoice.

Customs duty and inspection charges in the destination country are beyond my control and the responsibility of the buyer.

New Classic Bear Available

Patrick is a classic, centre seam head pattern, 5 joint teddy bear

Patrick is now SOLD ... more bears to come in the New Year

Ref 011//24 - The 11th and last bear for the year.

18 inches 45 cms  standing

13 inches 34 cms seated

Another bear from my 2024 classic bear pattern, this is the last bear for the year and the last of the bears from this pattern for the time being, so I decided to finish with an unusual colour.

More photos of Patrick further down after the description

Patrick is  made from a slightly wavy and distressed mohair in a soft but intense dusty vintage pink colour.

He has deep set vintage boot button eyes and wool felt paw pads which are cotton lined.  With the pink fur I decided to use a soft brown/beige colour for the nose and claw embroidery in place of the usual black.

Patrick is filled with excelsior wood wool, in places it is blended with soft natural wool fibre to give a finish which is softer and looser in some places, and slightly "crunchy" to give weight and feel reminiscent of a vintage bear.

Patrick has a traditional tilt growl mechanism.

Recent bears have all had a waistcoat and tie of some kind,  Patrick's tailored waistcoat has a shawl style half collar, metal enameled buttons and is made from English herringbone tweed.  The cravat is a plain loose knotted ascot made from cotton.
