19.25" Tall Metal Nutcracker Figurine with Christmas Tree "Fritz"

A hand painted iron sentry that stands guard on the mantel and comes back season after season

At a Glance

• Stands: 19.25 in tall and freestanding, no base or stand to assemble
• Build: 100% iron, powder coated and weather resistant
• Finish: hand painted with a distressed, antique look
• Holds: a small Christmas tree in his arms, one of four classic styles
• Placement: works indoors on a shelf or out on a covered porch
• Weight: 3.45 lb, heavy enough to hold its footing

Fritz is cast from solid iron, then hand painted so the reds, golds, and greens carry the depth and gentle wear of an old world piece rather than a flat printed coat. He holds a small tree and stands 19.25 inches tall on his own, no stand to build. A powder coated, weather resistant finish keeps the color true, so he can hold a spot on the mantel through the holidays and move out to a covered porch without fading. He is one of four classic figures in the collection, each with its own face and pose.

Key Features

• Hand painted, not printed: Every coat of color is applied by hand and lightly distressed, so the finish reads with the depth and character of an antique rather than one flat factory tone.
• Solid iron that lasts: Cast from 100% iron with a powder coated, weather resistant shell, he holds his shape and color year after year instead of cracking or yellowing the way resin does.
• Real presence on the shelf: At 19.25 inches tall he rises above the rest of a mantel display and anchors a table or entry with a figure people actually notice from across the room.
• Freestanding, no setup: He stands on his own two feet straight out of the box, so there is no base to screw in and nothing to assemble before he takes his post.
• Indoor or covered outdoor: The weather resistant finish lets him move from a warm mantel to a covered porch or entry, so you can style him wherever the season calls for a little tradition.

What's Included

In the box you get one Fritz nutcracker figure, cast in iron and hand painted, holding his small tree. He arrives freestanding and ready to set out, with nothing to assemble.

Before You Buy

• This is a decorative figure, not a working nutcracker. The jaw is fixed for display, so he is made to be seen and styled rather than used to crack a nut.
• The finish is hand painted and lightly distressed. Expect small variations in the paint from piece to piece, which is part of the handmade, antique look rather than a flaw.
• Outdoor use means a covered spot. He is weather resistant, so keep him under a porch or eave out of standing rain and snow to hold the finish over the years.
• He has real weight to him. At 3.45 lb of solid iron he feels substantial and stays put, so give him a sturdy shelf or table rather than a flimsy stand.

Perfect For

• Mantels, entry tables, and windowsills that need a classic holiday centerpiece
• Collectors building a set of the four styles over the seasons
• Anyone who prefers heirloom iron decor over disposable resin figures
• A lasting gift for someone who loves traditional Christmas style

Care & Use

• Wipe with a soft dry cloth to keep dust off the hand painted finish.
• Set him on a flat, sturdy surface so his weight keeps him upright.
• Keep him under cover outdoors and out of standing rain and snow.
• Skip harsh cleaners and abrasives that can dull the painted coat.
