A hand painted holiday soldier that brings old world Christmas charm to a mantel or shelf
At a Glance
- Build: 100 percent iron, powder coated for added protection
- Finish: Hand painted with a distressed, antique look
- Height: About 23 inches tall
- Detail: Classic drummer soldier, style named Hans
- Use: Indoor and outdoor safe, freestanding
- Weather: Weather resistant powder coat
This nutcracker is cast in solid iron and hand painted by hand, so it carries the worn, old world charm of a piece passed down for years. A little drum sits at the front, a classic soldier touch that sets Hans apart from a plain figure. The powder coated shell is weather resistant, so it feels at home on a mantel inside or on a covered porch. It stands on its own at about 23 inches tall, ready to display straight out of the box with nothing to assemble.
Key Features
- Solid iron, not hollow resin: The whole figure is 100 percent iron with a powder coated shell, so it has real weight in the hand and keeps its shape far better than a molded plastic piece.
- Hand painted antique look: Each nutcracker is hand painted and finished with a distressed patina, so it reads like an heirloom rather than a fresh off the line ornament.
- Weather resistant inside or out: The powder coat shrugs off damp and cold, so you can set it on a mantel indoors or on a covered porch without the paint flaking.
- Freestanding drummer detail: A small drum at the front and a steady, freestanding stance give this soldier a classic look that stands apart from an ordinary nutcracker.
What's Included
In the box you get one hand painted iron nutcracker in the Hans style, packed one piece per inner box. It arrives ready to display, so you can set it on a shelf or mantel straight out of the packaging with nothing to assemble and no batteries to buy.
Before You Buy
- This is the Hans style from a set of four. Hans is one of four soldiers in the collection. Order the others if you want to line up a full row along the mantel.
- It stands about 23 inches tall. That is nearly two feet, so it reads as a statement piece rather than a small tabletop figure. Measure your shelf or mantel before it arrives.
- The finish is distressed on purpose. The paint is applied by hand with an antique, worn look, so small variations in the patina are part of the design and not a flaw.
Perfect For
- A mantel, entry table, or shelf dressed up for the Christmas season
- Collectors who want to line up all four soldiers in the set
- A storefront or window display that needs a classic holiday figure
- Anyone who loves a traditional, old world nutcracker look
Care & Use
- Wipe the iron with a soft dry cloth to keep the finish clean.
- Bring it under cover in harsh weather to protect the hand painted paint.
- Set it on a level surface so it stands square and steady.
- Store it wrapped in soft cloth between seasons to guard the patina.

Which nutcracker is right for me?
vs. a resin or plastic nutcracker
Molded resin is light and can crack or fade over the years. This figure is solid iron with a powder coat, so it has real weight and keeps its finish through many holidays.
vs. a wooden nutcracker
A wooden piece can warp or chip if it gets damp. Iron with a weather resistant coat holds up on a covered porch as well as it does on a shelf indoors.
vs. a small tabletop figure
A little figure gets lost on a big mantel. At about 23 inches tall, Hans reads as a centerpiece and lines up into a full set with the other three soldiers.
