S1841 Rare, Signed 17" Steinbach Nutcracker, Suite Chinese Dancer with Original Box. EUC!

I thought Id share some interesting facts... What makes a Steinbach nutcracker special? Each nutcracker from Steinbach goes through rigorous cutting, shaping, hand turning, lathing, polishing, drilling, spraying, priming, carving, painting & decorating amongst other processes- all handmade. The result is a beautiful piece of whimsical art that will last for years to come!

History :

In the 11th century in northern Europe, wood- carving thrived, supported by church patronage, wealthy merchants & private patrons. The Steinbach family started their business by purchasing a timber yard & operating a wood sawmill run by steam & eventually began making nutcrackers & other fine wood products.

Did you know? Steinbach’s nutcrackers feature a stern face- it is believed that nutcrackers are good luck & ward away evil - and how best to ward off evil but with a stern face!!

This beautiful piece is in excellent condition. See photos for all the details.

This tall 17” in nutcracker depicts a Chinese Dancer at his finest! Adorned in a beautiful coat of white with red highlights. A snazzy pair of spotted pants, with gold shoes. He has been hand painted with exquisite detail down to the hand fan & bright yellow hat.

It is signed on the bottom of the wooden base & comes in the original box. I will include insurance, package securely & ship quickly.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for visiting! 🤗 Tee
