Know before you buy
While this piece is constructed from sturdy wood, it is primarily designed as a decorative collectible. Using it to crack nuts may damage the finish or the delicate handcrafted details.
This piece is authentically handcrafted in the Ore Mountains region of Germany, a traditional hub for woodcarving and nutcracker production.
To preserve the wood, keep the nutcracker away from direct sunlight and extreme humidity. You can gently dust it with a soft, dry cloth; avoid using water or chemical cleaners, as these can damage the natural finish.
The nutcracker stands 11.5 inches tall, with a width of 4 inches and a depth of 3.5 inches, making it a versatile size for mantels, bookshelves, or holiday displays.
Yes, the lever on the back of the nutcracker is functional and moves the figure's mouth, consistent with the traditional design of Christian Ulbricht nutcrackers.
