This Nutcracker doesn’t have a crown, but he does have style—and lots of it. Because he’s not a king, a soldier, or a general. No, he’s a true sledder. And you can tell right away.
He’s wearing a cozy knitted hat with a bobble. The colors are warm—beige and brown—and a fluffy, dark brown bobble sits atop it. And because it’s cold outside, he also has a matching scarf. It sits softly around his neck and provides winter coziness.
But his face is also typical of a Nutcracker. With a stern look, a rosy nose, and a finely trimmed white mustache. And of course—as is fitting—he also has a long white beard.
His clothing is simple but very stylish. The top is reddish-brown, the sleeves have a slight sheen. The buttons on the chest are light-colored. The pants are lighter, and the shoes are jet black with painted white laces.
Particularly beautiful: In his right hand, he holds a rope, and his sleigh hangs from it. The sleigh is made of light and dark wood. A small Christmas tree, also turned from wood, sits on it.
The sleigh is lovingly crafted. The runners are round, the cord is tightly tied. Nothing wobbles, nothing falls off – every detail is perfect.
The nutcracker stands securely on a square wooden base. The wood is natural and sanded smooth. This allows the figure to be perfectly showcased.
He is not just a decorative piece, but almost a small scene. You can almost see him setting off – with the sleigh in his luggage, the wind in his face, and one goal: to bring Christmas joy!
Whether on the windowsill, under the Christmas tree, or amidst the Advent wreath – this sleigh driver always cuts a fine figure. He is something very special. He combines craftsmanship, tradition, and a touch of humor.
In short: a nutcracker with character. One that never stands still. Someone who’s on the move—with heart, with wood, and with a hat. And that’s exactly why we love him.
