Know before you buy
While this piece is constructed with a lever mechanism, it is primarily designed as a decorative collectible. We recommend using it for display purposes rather than heavy-duty nut cracking to preserve the integrity of the wood and paint.
This piece is authentic Christian Ulbricht craftsmanship, handcrafted in Germany. It follows traditional German manufacturing methods that the brand is known for.
The nutcracker stands 11.0 inches tall, with a width of 3.9 inches and a depth of 3.0 inches. Its compact size makes it well-suited for mantels, bookshelves, or tabletop displays.
To keep the nutcracker in good condition, simply dust it periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water, household cleaners, or polishes, as these can damage the hand-painted finish.
Christian Ulbricht nutcrackers typically arrive in branded packaging that provides protection during transit. This box is also ideal for storing the piece safely during the off-season.
