    • Ask a question about me!

    The lovely Arthur is a very sweet vintage Chiltern teddy bear with an adorable expression. He dates to 1940 and measures 13 inches in height.

    He is a five way jointed little bear and all of his joints move well, so no sign of any old bear rheumatics! Arthur has a good coverage of long, light blonde mohair with just a few bald patches to his tummy and nose areas but is in good strong condition. He also has excellent eye sight as he has retained his original amber glass eyes.

    Arthur’s paw pads are all covered in their original velveteen fabric and show some signs of surface wear but have no holes in any of them. He still has a few of his original claw stitching too.

    Little Arthur is filled with a soft Kapok filling to his body and limbs, with wood wool to his head.

    He is a very handsome little Chiltern bear and he comes to you wearing his knitted top and hat.
