Bears in the Urn
The bear on the right is a French bear, called Hugo, made by a company called FADAP. He would have been made in the 1920’s and has the very distictive nose stitching used by this company. This one has nice blonde mohair, but many of them are made from poor quality fabrics, especially after World War II, but I think French bears have a special charm.
The bear on the left is probably German or Austrian and made around in the 1950’s. Bears like this are hard to identify, though he could easily be a Petz bear, made in Austria.
They are both hiding in our Victorian cast iron urn at the bottom of our garden from our terriers.
