Know before you buy
This piece is meticulously handcrafted in Germany, adhering to the long-standing traditions of Steinbach craftsmanship.
The Pilgrim Father stands at 16.3 inches tall, making it a substantial piece suitable for a mantel, bookshelf, or holiday centerpiece.
While it features the traditional lever mechanism, Steinbach nutcrackers are primarily designed as decorative collectibles rather than functional kitchen tools.
The nutcracker is crafted from high-quality wood, consistent with the traditional materials used in authentic German woodcarving.
To preserve the finish, gently dust the figure with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water, cleaning sprays, or abrasive materials that could damage the hand-painted details.
