Nutcracker with Cuckoo Clock in Black Forest Style
This gentleman is dressed in the traditional outfit of a Schwarzwälder (Black Forest fellow). His attire includes a flat-topped hat with a feather, a brown jacket with pointed felt shoulders, brown shorts, and black buckled shoes.
True to his heritage, he proudly carries a Black Forest cuckoo clock in his hands. The miniature chalet clock is decorated with stones on its roof, a perched cuckoo bird above the dial, and a forest setting complete with trees, logs, and a mushroom.
Handmade in the Erzgebirge region of Germany by Christian Ulbricht, this finely detailed nutcracker combines rustic charm with traditional craftsmanship. It is a wonderful collector’s item and a distinctive way to bring the spirit of the Black Forest into your home.
