Collectors
of Steiff and R. John Wright have a special treat in store with the production
of an important series designed in conjunction with both companies; The
Steiff Kinder.
As
many collectors know, the products of the legendary Steiff company provided
the earliest inspiration for R. John Wright creations. Now, 25 years after
the first R. John Wright children dolls appeared, the story has come full
circle with an exciting new collection of Steiff children dolls combining
the best of the old and the new.
Measuring
approximately 17" tall, fully jointed and made entirely of felt,
the dolls feature molded faces sculpted by R. John Wright to evoke the
early child dolls produced by the Margarete Steiff Toy Factory in the
early 1900's. With hand painted features, inset glass eyes and mohair
wigs, and invididually sewn fingers, the dolls are dressed in detailed
clothing and accessories made of the finest materials in designs relfective
of their German heritage.
