A perfect "Grandmillennial" or "Maximalist" statement, this curated set (Molds 6397 & 6898) depicts the training and subsequent performance of a dancing bear.

Unlike typical mismatched figurines, these were designed as a conceptual pair, offering the symmetry and "soul" sought after by modern designers. The signature Heubach "character" faces and lifelike textures define this as a premier "Golden Era" production c.1890-1915.
