Know before you buy
These nutcrackers are designed exclusively for decorative use. While they feature traditional nutcracker aesthetics, they are not intended to crack actual nuts.
The set includes two distinct king-themed designs. One nutcracker is styled with a sword, while the other is equipped with an axe, providing a balanced look for your display.
No, these pieces are crafted from wood and are intended for indoor use only. Exposure to outdoor elements like moisture or extreme temperature changes may damage the wood and the metallic gold leaf finish.
Each nutcracker stands 15 inches tall. They are sized perfectly for most mantels, bookshelves, or as a centerpiece on a holiday table.
The gemstones are decorative accents and do not require specific maintenance. To keep them looking their best, simply dust the figures gently with a soft, dry cloth.
