Drummer Nutcracker Christmas Wooden Figurine 60cm - Gold

This drummer nutcracker figurine brings a touch of old-fashioned Christmas pageantry in metallic gold and white. Made of wood with a metallic gold effect finish, he wears a tall gold top hat banded with sparkling silver trim, a gold tunic fastened with jewel-like buttons, a white belt and white trousers above tall gold boots. A fluffy white beard and hair frame his painted face, with bright blue eyes, rosy cheeks and a curled black moustache, and he holds a little gold and white drum with a drumstick in each hand. He stands 60cm tall, 11cm wide and 10cm deep on a square gold base edged with glitter.

At 60cm he is tall enough to hold his own on a mantelpiece, where he can keep watch over the fireplace through the festive weeks. He sits just as well on a sideboard, a hallway console or a deep windowsill. His gold and white colouring suits a soft, light scheme of pale pinks, creams and whites, and it also brings warmth to deeper greens and reds, so he works with most Christmas decorating styles. We think he makes a thoughtful Christmas gift, the kind of piece that comes out of the decorations box year after year.

His body is made of wood and painted with a metallic gold effect, with soft white trim at the collar, cuffs and beard. His jaw is hinged with a lever at his back in the traditional nutcracker way. He is freestanding on his square base, so he needs no wall or hook. Simply stand him on a flat, steady surface. He is a decoration rather than a toy, so place him out of reach of little hands. Dust him gently with a soft dry cloth and keep him somewhere dry between seasons. For a fuller display, set him among frosted greenery and a few baubles along the mantelpiece.
