Technical details and characteristics:
* Artisanal craftsmanship. Both pieces are handmade using traditional techniques. The fabric has undergone an exclusive material treatment that faithfully reproduces the rigid texture and patina of papier-mâché or antique wood, with charming "biscuit" nuances.
* Dimensions and stability. Both teddy bears are approximately 30 cm tall. The traditional high-density internal padding provides a firm and full structure, allowing the bears to sit perfectly unaided without the need for external supports.
* Joints and movement. The limbs are articulated and positionable. In the female figure, the joints at the shoulders and hips are highlighted by delicate hand-applied bows. The male features sturdy contrasting stitching that maintains the clean lines of the body.
* Finishes and accessories. The faces feature characteristic glossy plastic eyes, typical of period workmanship, set in contrast to the matte surface. The female wears a structured dusty pink dress with a cotton lace bow and a rusty bell; the male wears a stiff vest and a large tartan bow with a bell.
Estimated age: 1980s (late 20th century).
Condition: Excellent aesthetic and structural condition. The surface features deliberate microcracks and an aged finish that are part of the original design. The photos are an integral part of the . See less
