Royal Drummer with Velvet Cape Christmas Wooden Nutcracker 15 in by Wizardi F07M6-8A

Set a royal rhythm for the holidays with the Royal Drummer, a wooden Christmas nutcracker by Wizardi — a drummer in a tall black bearskin hat topped with a red plume, a fluffy white beard under a curled moustache, and a navy jacket with gold buttons beneath a soft red velvet cape trimmed in gold. He plays a red-and-white drum, with red trousers and black boots laced in gold on a red base.

A little collector's folklore: royal drummers led the king's procession to the Christmas feast, and collectors say this drummer always plays a little louder when the king arrives.

Why this nutcracker: if you love a traditional, rich look, the velvet cape and plumed bearskin hat give him real presence. At 15 inches he makes a striking pair with the matching king on a mantel.

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

Pair him with the royal king with velvet cape (F07M6-8B) for a matching set. Dust with a soft, dry brush and keep away from moisture and heat. A decoration, not a toy.

Size: 38 cm tall (15 in). Traditional Christmas mantel decor, and a regal gift for drummers and nutcracker collectors.
