Hubert is quite a large, loveably eccentric, traditional one of a kind, artist teddy bear in splendid English mohair by Barbara Ann Bears

Hubert is 19 inches (48cm) tall and is 13.5 inches (35cm) sitting.

Hubert is a wonderful, friendly traditional teddy bear. Hubert is not the most classical in his proportions, he's more characterful with his long nose and neck and portly tummy, he's more distinguished and eccentric, a bear who has lived the good life. We were very lucky that someone found some beautiful old English mohair in the back of an old mill in Bradford which we were able to snap up. Mohair for the teddy bear industry hasn't been woven in this country for a long time so we feel especially fortunate and honoured to be able to make some new bears with it. We think Hubert has turned out very well, he's obviously a bear who likes his honey...and his cakes, his biscuits and scones, and... well, let's just say that he's a very 'solid' bear.

Hubert is made from a beautiful antique gold, straight pile, dense English mohair. He has beige wool felt paw pads and large beguiling eyes, these were painted in colours to match his mohair. Hubert has a splendid, carefully embroidered brown nose and a relaxed and demure expression.

Hubert is stuffed with a mixture of polyester stuffing and plastic pellets, giving him a cuddly and relaxed demeanour, comfortable and easy to pose and hug. As with all our bears he is 5-way jointed.

Hubert is a charming and very friendly bear, he's definitely a bear who loves his food and seems to be constantly prepared for hibernation, even in the middle of summer! He's the first of his design, a wonderful, old school chap, we hope you like him.

We'll pop in some photos with Hubert and we are happy to put in a greetings card and gift tags, maybe a birthday card or one for another occasion, you can choose one from our greetings card page and let us know which card you would like.

As with all our bears, Hubert is not a toy, he is an adult collectible and unsuitable for children under 14.
