Silver Ice King Christmas Wooden Nutcracker 9 in by Wizardi F07M14-34-N01364B

Bring a frosty sparkle to the season with the Silver Ice King, a wooden Christmas nutcracker by Wizardi — a wintry king in a silver crown set with a crystal, a pale silver-and-white jacket with crystal buttons, and a fluffy white beard. He holds a slender silver scepter, with silver boots dotted with crystals on a sleek silver base.

A little collector's folklore: in old winter tales, the Ice King rules the frozen north and decides when the first snow falls. Collectors say keeping him on the mantel guarantees a white Christmas — and a little extra sparkle on the windows.

Why this nutcracker: if your decor is silver, white or icy blue, he gives you a nutcracker that matches instead of clashing with red. The silver finish glows under fairy lights, and his compact size suits a shelf, windowsill or holiday table centrepiece.

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

Group him with the other silver guards in the series (F07M14-34-N01364A and C), or set him among silver baubles, frosted pine and white candles. Dust with a soft, dry brush and keep away from moisture and heat. A decoration, not a toy.

Size: 24 cm tall (9.4 in). Winter-white Christmas shelf and table decor, and an elegant gift for anyone who decorates in silver.
