Jeweled Sword King Christmas Wooden Nutcracker 12 in by Wizardi F07M14-40-N01012A

Crown the season with the Jeweled Sword King, a wooden Christmas nutcracker by Wizardi — a king in a gold crown set with coloured gems over a tall red hat, a white beard under a curled black moustache, and a red jacket with gold epaulettes and gold buttons. He raises a gold sword studded with jewels, with navy trousers patterned in gold diamonds and black boots on a red base edged in gold.

A little collector's folklore: the king leads the nutcracker army against the Mouse King in the famous Christmas tale, and collectors say his jeweled sword is the reason the mice never win.

Why this nutcracker: if you love the traditional red and navy look, he is a classic king in a handy middle size. At about 12 inches he works on a shelf, mantel or as the leader of a nutcracker group.

In the box: one Jeweled Sword King nutcracker in painted wood with a white faux-fur beard and a sword, packed in a red gift box with a window. A decorative nutcracker, not intended for cracking nuts. Ready to display, no assembly needed.

Build the regiment with the musketeer, the staffbearer and the drummer (F07M14-40-N01012B, C and D). Dust with a soft, dry brush and keep away from moisture and heat. A decoration, not a toy.

Size: 30 cm tall (11.8 in). Traditional Christmas shelf and mantel decor, and a classic gift for nutcracker collectors.
