About this product
A single nutcracker soldier, 50 cm (20 inches) tall, made of solid wood and painted in traditional colours, with a red coat, a raised chin and a moustache. It stands on its own wooden base with no hook or wall fixing, and it is shaped all the way round, so it looks right from any side.
It is a decorative figure for indoor display, not a toy, and the mouth lever moves for show rather than for cracking nuts. The item dimensions are 12.4 x 12.4 x 50 cm and no batteries are needed.
What to use it for
Place it on a mantelpiece, hallway console or windowsill, or beside the tree; at 50 cm it works as a centrepiece rather than a tree ornament.
Care and safety
Dust with a soft cloth and keep the wood dry; work the mouth lever gently.
