Description
This metal nutcracker garden ornament gives the traditional nutcracker soldier a Halloween twist, with a grinning jack-o'-lantern head in place of the usual painted face. The pumpkin head sits on a coiled spring beneath a tall black top hat with an orange buckle, above a black jacket trimmed with orange, an orange buckled belt and rounded white hands set at its hips. A pumpkin-shaped pot sits at the front of the jacket, the legs are striped in black and white, and tall black boots stand on a round orange and black base dotted with small jewel-like studs. It measures 120.9cm tall, 37.8cm wide and 31.5cm deep, a size that holds its own beside a door or at the foot of the stairs.
Halloween is its moment. Stand it in the hallway to greet guests as they come in, beside the front door for trick-or-treaters, or at the end of a garden path where it can be seen from the street. Because it stands on its own broad base it needs no wall or fixing, so it can go wherever your Halloween display needs it. Its height makes it a natural focal point for a spooky corner: set pumpkins, lanterns and a twig wreath around it and the whole scene comes together. It also makes a fun centrepiece for a Halloween party, standing guard at the door while the evening gets going.
It is made from metal with a painted finish in black and orange, and it takes three AA batteries, which are not included, so have a set ready before you put it out. To care for it, dust with a soft dry cloth or wipe gently with a damp cloth and dry it straight away. Bring it indoors in wet weather and store it somewhere dry once the season is over, ready to take up its post by the door again next October.
