Christian Ulbricht Nutcracker - Black Forest Fellow with Cuckoo Clock

Traditional German Nutcracker Celebrating Black Forest Heritage

This stunning hand-carved nutcracker is dressed in the traditional German outfit of a Schwarzwälder, or Black Forest fellow. His outfit features a large black top hat with a red band and a sprig of evergreen held in the band, a navy blue jacket, brown shorts, and black buckled shoes.

Of course, no Black Forest fellow would be truly complete without his very own Black Forest clock, and this cheerful nutcracker proudly holds his cuckoo clock with both hands. The clock is brown with a white face and Roman numerals, featuring a yellow and orange cuckoo bird announcing the hour alongside evergreen trees, logs, and a mushroom.

Handmade and hand-painted in the Erzgebirge region of Germany, this finely crafted piece is a wonderful representation of traditional craftsmanship and a timeless addition to any nutcracker collection.
