1990 House of Nisbet Teddy Bear, "The Way We Were" Limited Edition. Measures about 19" in height. Fully jointed. Reg no 0391. Excellent condition.
This 1990 House of Nisbet creation, titled "The Way We Were," is a masterful homage to the golden age of teddy bear design. House of Nisbet, a legendary name in British bear-making, was renowned for its "archival" aesthetic, often recreating the look and feel of toys from the turn of the century. Standing nineteen inches tall, this bear is fully jointed and features the classic humped back and elongated limbs associated with heritage English craftsmanship. The coat is meticulously designed to appear slightly aged, giving it the soulful, "well-loved" character of a cherished family heirloom.
As a limited edition piece with Registration No. 0391, this bear is a significant find for the serious collector. Its name, "The Way We Were," perfectly encapsulates its role as a nostalgic artifact, making it a premier candidate for a Dark Academia-inspired library or a study filled with historical curiosities. The bear is in excellent condition, with its joints remaining firm and its mohair-style fur beautifully preserved. It serves as a stately and scholarly companion, embodying the quiet dignity and enduring charm of traditional British toy-making. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a numbered piece from one of the most respected houses in the history of the teddy bear.
