Steiff are a classic brand, starting up in the late 19th Century and in 1902 being one of the creators of the teddy bear as we know it today.

Steiff was started in 1880 with the sale of Margarete Steiff's fabric elephants but it truly made its mark in 1902 with the birth of the mohair plush bear. With jointed arms and legs it was the template for all Steiff bears since then – and adopted by the American public as teddy bears after President Theodore ‘Teddy' Roosevelt, and sold under that name from 1906 on.

With the trademark Steiff Button In Ear joining it two years later to ward off cheaper imitations Steiff as we know it established itself as a premier maker of cuddly bears for both adults and children.

It measures 40.5 cm (16 '') from the legs to the top.
