Bearded nutcracker

Description

A design with a story...

Wooden nutcrackers, as we know them today, date from the 19th century. The first commercial model, carved by a German woodworker, was based on a character from a children's book about a “King Nutcracker”.
The puppets weren’t associated with Christmas until in 1892, when Tchaikovsky's famous ballet, The Nutcracker, debuted. Because the ballet is set on Christmas Eve (and the hero is a nutcracker coming to life), the nutcrackers quickly became associated with holiday decorations.

The nutcrackers have been integrated in our collection for a long time as indispensable Christmas decor.
