From one of historys greatest seafaring tragedies comes one of the most extraordinary Steiff creations: the black mourning Teddy Bear. On April 14, 1912, the RMS Titanic struck a massive iceberg during her maiden transatlantic voyage, sinking within three hours and claiming the lives of over 1,500 passengers. In response to Englands collective grief, Steiff paid tribute with the creation of black mourning bears, produced exclusively for the country in limited numbers. Fewer than 500 were made, and their touching significance ensured they sold out quickly. Today, these rare bears are among the most coveted treasures in the world of Teddy bear collecting, with one achieving a New World Record at the Steiff Sommer 2023 auction, selling for an astounding 180,000. This meticulously crafted replica honors the legacy of those original 1912 bears. Made from the RMS-certified black mohair and traditionally stuffed with wood shavings, the bear embodies exceptional Steiff craftsmanship. His wooden eyes, patinated steel ear tag, and a sewn-in growler complete the exquisite details. Expertly 5-way jointed, he can be positioned to highlight his timeless design. Strictly limited to 912 pieces worldwide, this bear is not just a collectibleit is a piece of history. The 1912 Titanic Mourning Replica Teddy Bear is a profound and dignified tribute to a moment in time, offering discerning collectors the opportunity to own an enduring symbol of remembrance and resilience.
