Wizardi Wooden Commander Nutcracker F07M6-3B

Take command of the holidays with the Commander, a wooden Christmas nutcracker by Wizardi — an officer in a tall black faux-fur bearskin hat, a fluffy white beard under a curled moustache, and a navy jacket trimmed with gold braid and buttons. He carries a curved black sword at his side, with red trousers and black boots laced in gold on a round red base. A little collector's folklore: the tall bearskin hat was worn by elite guards to make them look taller and braver, and collectors say the commander keeps the whole nutcracker regiment in line on Christmas Eve. Why this nutcracker: if you love a traditional soldier with real presence, the fur bearskin hat gives him height and texture. Navy, red and gold are classic, and at 15 inches he is a striking mantel piece. In the box: one Commander nutcracker in painted wood with a faux-fur hat and beard, packed in a red gift box with a window. A decorative nutcracker, not intended for cracking nuts. Ready to display, no assembly needed. Stand him with the rest of the royal series — the drummer (F07M6-3A), the royal king (F07M6-3C) and the imperial guard (F07M6-3D). Dust with a soft, dry brush and keep away from moisture and heat. A decoration, not a toy. Size: 38 cm tall (15 in). Classic Christmas mantel decor, and a handsome gift for nutcracker collectors.
