King with Christmas Wreath Christmas Wooden Nutcracker 15 in by Wizardi F07AM9-30-N01325A

Welcome guests in royal style with the King with Christmas Wreath, a wooden nutcracker by Wizardi — a king in a jeweled gold crown with a red dome, a fluffy white beard under a curled moustache, and a red jacket rich with gold embroidery and gold fringe epaulettes. He holds a little holly wreath tied with a red bow, with red-and-gold striped trousers and black boots trimmed in gold on a red base.

A little collector's folklore: the evergreen wreath on the door is a sign of welcome and everlasting life at Christmas, and collectors say this king hangs the first wreath of the season on the castle gate.

Why this nutcracker: if you love classic red and gold, the wreath gives him a warm, welcoming touch that suits an entryway or mantel. At 15 inches he is a festive statement piece beside the tree.

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

Complete the trio with the royal scepter king and the Christmas tree king (F07AM9-30-N01325C and B). Dust with a soft, dry brush and keep away from moisture and heat. A decoration, not a toy.

Size: 38 cm tall (15 in). Classic red and gold Christmas decor, and a welcoming gift for hosts and nutcracker collectors.
