Festive King Christmas Wooden Nutcracker 10 in by Wizardi F07M6-13D

Crown the season with the Festive King, a wooden Christmas nutcracker by Wizardi — a cheerful little king in a red crown set with blue jewels, a red jacket with green cuffs over a white tunic striped in green and red, and a fluffy white beard under a curled moustache. He holds a gold scepter at his side, with white trousers and black boots laced in gold on a round red base.

A little collector's folklore: in old Christmas plays, a king was chosen for Twelfth Night by hiding a bean in the cake, and whoever found it ruled the feast. Collectors say this king found the bean — and has no plans to give up his crown before the New Year.

Why this nutcracker: if you want a classic red-and-green king at a size that fits anywhere, he is it. His bright festive colours bring instant Christmas cheer to a windowsill, bookshelf or kitchen counter, and he is an easy, affordable gift or stocking stuffer for a nutcracker fan.

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

Line him up with the rest of the small series — the regal drummer (F07M6-13A), the brave soldiers (F07M6-13B and C) — or tuck him among red and green ornaments on a shelf. Dust with a soft, dry brush and keep away from moisture and heat. A decoration, not a toy.

Size: 25 cm tall (9.8 in). Classic Christmas shelf and windowsill decor, and a festive gift for nutcracker collectors of all ages.
