Produced as a large-format retail display model, this impressive Pekinese captures the breed’s distinctive silhouette with luxuriously long flowing mohair-style fur in warm golden tones, expressive glass eyes, and meticulously sculpted facial details that create remarkable lifelike character.

Marked “Made in Germany” and numbered “4216/40 PIEK,” this vintage Steiff display piece represents the company’s celebrated tradition of creating premium studio animals for retailers, collectors, and luxury displays. Its substantial size and realistic proportions make it equally suitable as a collector’s centerpiece, conversation piece, or decorative accent in eclectic, mid-century, and traditional interiors.

Large Steiff studio animals have become increasingly desirable among collectors due to their limited production, craftsmanship, and crossover appeal between toy history, advertising memorabilia, and decorative arts. This Pekinese remains a charming and highly displayable example of mid-century German design and collectible history. See less
