Oldenbears Teddy Bear Restoration

Has your poor old Teddy Bear been attacked by a dog, left to fend for himself in the loft for 50 years, or suffered an unspeakable fate in the washing machine
during an over-enthusiastic quest for cleanliness?
Yes? then you've come to the right place..........

I will restore your old friend skilfully and professionally without obliterating his original character or past life, using an understanding of the construction and history of teddy bears and the correct materials for restoration in keeping with the bear's age and character with no unnecessary work, inappropriate materials or "over-restoration" carried out on any bear.

Most old bears (or other toy animals) can be restored successfully, so never fear! Using special techniques, it is possible to make almost every repair either unnoticeable or almost-unnoticeable.
Before beginning, each bear is carefully studied and researched to ensure that each restoration will be as authentic as possible and that Teddy will look his age, but with no damage. If the maker can be identified, then the bear's original specification will be followed as faithfully as possible. Even if no maker is obvious, Teddy's age and characteristics should still be easy to discover.

Happily, most of the traditional materials and components that were used for old bears are still in production today for the collectors' market, so it is often the case that a good match can be found, or a new material is 'aged' to blend in with the old bear.

Based in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, I also have my own range of custom made, vintage-look bears, plus a variety of collectable teddy bears for sale from the website.
