Know before you buy
While it features a traditional lever mechanism, this piece is primarily designed as a decorative collectible. We recommend using it for display rather than heavy-duty nut cracking to preserve its handcrafted details.
The hair and beard are made from genuine rabbit fur, which provides a soft, authentic texture that distinguishes it from synthetic alternatives.
This nutcracker stands at 27 centimeters, or approximately 10.63 inches, making it a versatile size for mantels, bookshelves, or holiday tabletops.
Each piece is handcrafted in Germany, adhering to traditional folk art techniques and meticulous assembly standards.
The nutcracker is composed of nearly 70 individual wooden parts, reflecting the high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail required for its assembly.
No, this nutcracker is intended strictly for indoor use. Exposure to outdoor elements like moisture and temperature fluctuations can damage the wood and the natural rabbit fur.
