Unpainted Figure
This bear was used in a shop window to advertise bear's grease. Several large bears of this form have been recorded. In this case, the name of the retailer, Atkinson of 24 Old Bond Street is painted on the bear and the base.
James Atkinson manufactured toiletries, cosmetics and fragrances in his factory in southwest London, and he sold them to his elite clientele from his perfumerie in his beautiful building at 24 Old Bond Street. Although Atkinson was established in 1799, it was only at the Bond Street location from 1832. Today the building houses Salvatore Ferragamo.
