Seiffener Volkskunst Christmas Nutcracker - Red King

A true classic, the Red King Nussknacker stands tall and proud in bold, primary colours that capture the joyful spirit of a traditional German Christmas. His brilliant red tunic, gold-trimmed black crown, and golden sceptre make him a festive favourite year after year. With vivid yellow and blue accents, this Nutcracker is a vibrant symbol of Old World tradition and a must-have for collectors of classic Christmas decor.

Decorative German Nutcrackers are more than just festive figures — they’re cherished symbols of tradition, strength, and good luck. Whether standing proudly on a mantel or gifted to someone special, these authentic wooden Nutcrackers bring charm, nostalgia, and the unmistakable magic of a traditional German Christmas. Their bold expressions and intricate uniforms make them delightful collectibles and timeless holiday decor that’s passed from one generation to the next.

Among the first Nutcrackers ever carved in the Erzgebirge, kings have remained a favourite subject of the region’s master woodworkers. These royal figures symbolized power and protection — exactly the kind of watchful presence a household would want during the dark days of Advent and Christmastime. By choosing to craft Nutcrackers as kings, artisans from Seiffen and across the Ore Mountains connected their creations to centuries of folklore and European tradition.
