About this product
This pair of traditional nutcracker soldiers is made of pine wood with painted detail in red and green. The two figures have different designs, and each stands 30 cm (12 inches) tall with a movable jaw lever. A nod to the ballet and to German market tradition is mentioned.
They are decorative only and cannot crack nuts, and they are meant for tabletop or shelf display rather than standing on the floor. No batteries are needed. Handle the small painted details and moving parts with care when unpacking and displaying them, the description advises.
What to use it for
Stand them on a mantelpiece, shelf, hallway table or windowsill, beside the tree or a wreath; they are made for display at height, not for the floor.
Care and safety
Take care around the jaw lever and the small painted details when dusting with a soft cloth, and pack the pair away together.
