Vintage Decorative Wooden Nutcracker King Figurines 5 In Tall Hand Painted

A pair of decorative wooden nutcracker figurines designed to look like kings, commonly used as Christmas decorations. These figures are part of a long-standing German tradition that gained popularity as a holiday icon partly due to Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker ballet.
Design and Material: Both figurines are made of wood and hand-painted, featuring a classic toy soldier appearance with intricate details like bejeweled crowns, white faux-fur hair and beards, and black boots.
Colors and Accessories:
The figure on the left wears a dark blue/burgundy jacket with gold and red accents and holds a golden scepter/baton.
The figure on the right wears a red jacket with gold and blue accents and holds a silver-bladed, bejeweled sword.
Use: While early nutcrackers were functional tools, most modern ones, like these, are primarily decorative and often not intended for cracking nuts. They are typically displayed on mantels, shelves, or tables during the holiday season.
Measurement: 3 x 2.5 x 5 in
