Description
This little nutcracker trinket box brings a cheerful Christmas soldier to a shelf or dressing table. It is made in metal with a glazed finish. He stands to attention in a bright red jacket crossed by a green sash, with gold-coloured epaulettes, a belt set with small clear stones and a gold-coloured sword held upright in one hand. His tall black hat has gold-coloured trim, more clear stones and a red stone at the centre. Below it are dark eyes, a black moustache and a white beard. Blue trousers, white legs and black boots finish the uniform, and he stands on a round green base edged with a gold-coloured scroll pattern. He is 8cm tall, 4cm wide and 3.5cm deep, small enough to sit in the palm of your hand.
The surprise is in his head: it lifts back on a hinge to open a small compartment in his body, just right for a ring, a pair of earrings, a lucky coin or a folded note. Set him on the mantelpiece, a bedside table or a bookshelf through December, or among the greenery on the Christmas table. We like that once the decorations come down, he can stay out on a dressing table as a home for the little things that tend to go missing. He makes a thoughtful Christmas gift and a cheerful stocking filler.
The body is metal with a glazed finish that gives the colours their shine, and the gold-coloured trim picks out the edges of the uniform. The round base gives him a steady footing, so he stands on his own. To keep him bright, dust him with a soft dry cloth and keep him away from water. For a gift with a little extra, tuck a pair of earrings or a handwritten note inside him before you wrap him.
