These pretty and timeless miniature nutcrackers Danish guard soldiers are lovingly and traditionally handcrafted by the Karl Heinz Bilz company.
The miniature nutcrackers in the shape of guard soldiers consist of a set of ten small figures, each of which is 8 cm high. Each soldier is designed identically, wearing a bright red uniform with blue trousers and a black, high guard helmet. The uniform is decorated with white details such as belts, and the soldiers wear small black shoes.
The soldiers’ faces are drawn simply but succinctly. They all wear a black moustache, which gives them a strict, disciplined look, in keeping with their role as guard soldiers. Their eyes are directed straight ahead, giving them a watchful expression.
Each soldier carries a rifle on his left shoulder, which lies tightly against his body and is part of his military equipment. The rifles are lifelike but minimalist in design, in keeping with the compact size of the figures.
The guards stand on green bases that provide stability while also representing a touch of nature, as if they were standing on a meadow or parade ground. Overall, this set exudes discipline and order, with the colorful uniforms making the figures look particularly decorative.
The small size and attention to detail make these guards a charming decorative object that is particularly suitable for Christmas scenarios or as an addition to larger nutcracker collections.
