Description
This nutcracker bust figurine brings the crowned soldier of Christmas tradition to a shelf or mantelpiece in rich red with gold detail. He wears a tall red hat ringed with a gold crown band, and his painted face is framed by soft white hair, a curled moustache and a full white beard. Beneath the beard sits a red tunic with gold buttons and braid, finished at the shoulders with fringed epaulettes, and the whole bust rises from a dark brown fluted pedestal edged with gold scrollwork. He stands 30cm tall, 15cm wide and 11cm deep.
At 30cm tall he has presence enough for a mantelpiece, a hall table or a sideboard, yet at 15cm wide and 11cm deep he settles onto a windowsill or a bookshelf without crowding it. Set him beside the tree, among greenery on the mantel, or at the centre of the Christmas table. He brings a traditional, storybook feel to festive decorating, and as a Christmas gift he is a thoughtful choice for anyone who looks forward to bringing the decorations down from the loft each December.
He is cast in polystone, a resin that holds fine moulded detail, so the braid on his tunic, the fringe at his shoulders and the scrollwork on his crown and base all stand out crisply. The paintwork picks out each part in red, gold, white and dark brown, and he stands on his own round pedestal, so he needs no wall or hook. To keep him looking his best, dust him with a soft dry cloth, and avoid polishes or water on the painted finish. When the season is over, wrap him in tissue and box him away so he is ready for the next Christmas. For a fuller festive look, stand him on a bed of greenery with a few baubles at his feet.
