Golden painted nuts were part of early traditional Christmas decorations and if you wanted to eat the tasty kernel inside, you had to crack the nut open! As early as 1735 in Sonneberg they were referred to as wooden ‘nut-biters’ with large heads and a lever on their backs with which the nut was pressed against their upper jaws and cracked open.
This large king nutcracker in red is based on later designs that are still used to crack nuts open around Christmas today.
Dimensions: 49cm x 12cm x 12cm
