Basil loves a sausage roll - especially a Christmas sausage roll.  He can eat at least four before feeling a little queasy, so if you would like Basil to come to your home over Christmas, please be sure to make an extra batch in advance 🤎🤎🤎
Basil is handmade by me from Steiff Schulte mohair.  He is filled with steel shot and soft pellets for weight and texture, and  polycotton fibrefil for soft huggability.  He is gently aged with some sparse patches and mending stitches.  Basil has a saggy belly, which all the best bears have and is five way jointed.  He cannot stand unaided due to his achy knees.
Basil wears a handmade Christmas green waistcoat, and Christmas tag and a rusty bell 🎄🎄
Basil measures 11 inches from ear to paw.  
Basil is a collectors bear and not suitable for children.
