White and Gold Royal Guard with Sword Christmas Wooden Nutcracker 10 in by Wizardi F07M6-24A

Bring quiet elegance to the holidays with the White and Gold Royal Guard, a wooden Christmas nutcracker by Wizardi — a palace guard in a tall white shako with gold filigree and a gem, a fluffy white beard, and a white jacket trimmed in gold with jewel accents and a gold belt. He holds a gold sword, with white trousers and boots laced in gold on a white base edged in gold.

A little collector's folklore: ceremonial guards wore white for the grandest winter balls, and collectors say a white guard by the tree means the evening will be one to remember.

Why this nutcracker: if you decorate in white, ivory and gold, he gives you a soldier that matches instead of clashing with red. He glows beside candles and fairy lights, and his compact size fits a shelf, mantel or table centrepiece.

In the box: one White and Gold Royal Guard nutcracker in painted wood with a white faux-fur beard and jewel accents, 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 white and gold court with the king, drummer and axe soldier (F07M6-24B, C and D). 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). Elegant Christmas shelf decor, and a refined gift for anyone who decorates in white and gold.
