Know before you buy
While this piece is constructed from wood and features traditional nutcracker mechanics, it is primarily designed as a decorative collectible. We recommend using it for display purposes to preserve the integrity of the handcrafted finish.
This piece is authentically handcrafted in Germany by Christian Ulbricht, a brand renowned for its long-standing history in traditional Erzgebirge woodcraft.
The nutcracker stands 15 inches tall, with a width of 7.5 inches and a depth of 7.25 inches. It is a substantial piece that works well as a centerpiece on a mantle or a focal point on a holiday table.
No, the lantern is a static, decorative accessory crafted from wood and other materials to complement the Santa design. It does not contain an internal light source or electrical components.
To maintain the finish, simply dust the figure periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water, chemical cleaners, or furniture polish, as these can damage the natural wood and painted details.
