Steiff Othello Titanic Replica 1912 Bear

Product Description

On April 14th 1912 the passenger liner Titanic was speeding towards New York on her maiden transatlantic voyage when she struck an iceberg off the Grand Banks of Newfoundl&, Canada, & sank with the loss of 1, 513 lives. The whole of England was plunged into mourning & Steiff responded by producing black mohair bears to mourn the disaster too. Within weeks they were displayed in shop windows throughout London & sold out very quickly. Only 494 of this prized bear were made & here Steiff have made a replica of this very famous bear to commemorate the centenary & called him Othello. This is a LARGE handsome bear of 50cm & is made from the finest black mohair. Fully jointed with head & limbs which are loosely atttached to the body making it easy to sit him in different positiions. He is stuffed with wood shavings just like the original bear was & he has sparkling glass eyes & when tipped you can hear him growl. Finally he has beige felt paw pads which contrast against the black so well & hand embroidered mouth & nose. PLEASE NOTE THIS BEAR WILL BE WITH US SPRING THIS YEAR & IS NOW AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER. YOU CAN EITHER PURCHASE THE BEAR ON LINE WITH FULL PAYMENT OR YOU CAN CALL US ON 020 8457 7555 & PLACE A NON-REFUNDABLE £30 DEPOSIT.
