Steiff Kinder

Steiff Kinder

The products of the early Steiff company provided the inspiration for R. John Wright to begin making dolls. 25 years after the first R. John Wright children dolls appeared, the story came full circle with an new collection of Steiff children dolls produced by R. John Wright and distributed by Steiff, Germany.

The Premiere Series consisted of the four children dolls shown above. Measuring approximately 17" tall, fully jointed and made entirely of felt, the dolls featured 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, mohair wigs, and individually sewn fingers, the dolls were dressed in detailed clothing and accessories made of the finest materials in designs reflective of their German heritage.

The Steiff Kinder were produced by R. John Wright Dolls in a worldwide limited edition of 500 pieces each. The dolls featured the trademark Steiff button in ear as well as the customary brass 'RJW' button - a first for both companies. The Steiff Kinder were boxed with accompanying signed and numbered certificate of authenticity. Matched-number sets were offered subject to availability.

The Steiff Kinder were distributed exclusively by Steiff and sold through Steiff dealers worldwide. For further information, please contact STEIFF .
