THE TWIDDLERS 2 Nutcracker Soldiers 30cm, Royal Drummer Christmas Figures Wooden Nut Cracker Xmas Decorations, A Matching Pair, Classic Indoor Ornaments & Statues, Mantelpiece Home Decor

A Guardsman and His King: One in a black bearskin with a drum at his waist, one in a red velvet cape with a jewelled crown and a sceptre in his hand. Two different characters, painted to stand side by side rather than match. Why Two and Not One? A single nutcracker on a shelf always looks like it lost something. A pair either side of a clock, a candle or a photograph frames whatever sits between them, and that is the whole reason they come as two. Fireplace, Bookshelf or Window Sill: 30cm is tall enough to be noticed and short enough to sit on a shelf without touching the one above. Stand them either side of the hall mirror and people spot them coming in from the cold. Their Jaws Open, the Old Way: Press the lever at the back and the mouth works, exactly as nutcrackers have for two hundred years. It moves for show rather than for walnuts, and these are decorative pieces for indoor display, not toys. One Box, Both of Them, Every December: They pack back into the box they arrived in, which is the easiest way to get them into the loft without chipping the paint. Part of our nutcracker range, which runs from 13cm tree hangers upwards.
