Teddy Bear Seated in an Armchair Limoges Box

A plump teddy bear settles into a little green chair, looking ready for a nap after a long afternoon of being loved. This hand-painted porcelain Limoges box was decorated in Limoges, France, and the bear can be lifted out of the chair and set beside it.

Teddy Takes a Seat

The rounded chair and soft bear shapes recall a nursery corner or a grandmother's sitting room. Because the bear is removable, the two pieces can be arranged a little differently each time, which makes the scene feel alive on a shelf.

Cozy Little Keepsake

A new baby's arrival, a christening or a first birthday all call for something to keep. Set it on a nursery dresser, a bookshelf of storybooks, or a curio cabinet beside other bears. Grandparents who collect teddy bears often keep one for each grandchild, and this one would make a gentle start.

Its soft colors work well among pastel nursery pieces.
