An early production wooden bear by Danish designer Kay Bojesen, made from a combination of untreated oak and maple. The figure has a simplified, rounded form characteristic of Bojesen’s animal designs and retains its original surface patina and signs of wear consistent with its age.
Kay Bojesen (1886–1958) was a Danish designer and silversmith best known for his wooden animal figures. Combining simplified forms with articulated construction, his designs became closely associated with Scandinavian mid-century modernism. His wooden toys remain recognised examples of 20th-century Danish design.
