One of a Kind Antique Style Mohair Artist Bear by Kate Berlin Old Time Teddies

Description

Beautiful vintage mohair artist bear by Kate Berlin Old Time Teddies, one of the finest bear artists in this country
Her name is Anne and she was created in 2006.
Kate stopped making bears quite a few years ago and Anne is one of my last, so a sad sale
She measures 18" long and is fully jointed, created with beautiful luxurious German mohair
Her real eyes match her fur in a soft grey/taupe color with black pupil
Hand embroidered nose and claws, her nose is softly waxed for a wonderful look
Paw pads are of wool felt and aged by the artist, stuffed with excelsior and poly for a nice weight
The little vintage cotton dress has also been distressed and worn, it can be removed if you wish
Kate had an awesome ability to create a bear in the style of an old antique bear, well loved, with small cupped ears and beautiful presence, when you look at her, there is a soul inside looking back at you (I know that sounds strange, but it is true)
Excellent condition from a smoke-free collection and comes with artist signed and dated 2006 hang tag
Some photos were taken outdoors in natural light, but came out dark, so some were taken indoors with flash
