The Nutcracker Guard Soldier Medium, Red is another beautiful nutcracker from Legler GmbH & Co.KG. Legler crafts this nutcracker using traditional craftsmanship. Rich in detail and colorful, it is also hand-painted.
The Nutcracker Guard Soldier stands proudly and upright on a round, vibrant green painted base. His overall appearance exudes authority and friendliness. The guard soldier’s body is bright red, adorned with gold buttons on the chest and gold cuffs. A black belt with a gold buckle accentuates his waist and underscores the clean structure of his uniform.
The white legs, covered with black boots, give the nutcracker a firm stance. The boots are shiny lacquered and reach down to his knees. He wears a black saber on his belt.
The movable mouth is the characteristic element of this nutcracker. The lower jaw can be pushed down and, like the upper beard, is covered with soft, white artificial hair. Tufts of the same soft synthetic hair peek out from under his towering black guard’s cap on the left and right.
His face appears unusually friendly for a nutcracker. Large, light blue eyes gaze attentively forward. Pink cheeks tower above his round, bulbous nose, giving the soldier an almost childlike, playful expression. A jet-black, sweeping mustache harmoniously rounds off his friendly face.
The cap bears a golden horseshoe symbol on the front, which could be both an ornament and a sign of military affiliation. The nutcracker’s overall color scheme—the bold red, the shiny black, the bright white, and the rich green—creates a festive, vibrant appearance that unfolds its full charm, especially at Christmas time.
- Height approx. 29 cm
