The history of the nutcracker dates back to 17th century Germany. During
this time nutcrackers were not only functional but also considered
symbols of good luck and protection. People often placed them in their
homes to ward off evil and bring prosperity during the holiday season.
Nutcrackers were originally functional tools used to crack open
hard-shelled nuts, with early examples made of wood and often taking the
form of figurative designs. Over time, these decorative wooden figures
have often taken the form of soldiers, kings, or other characters and are traditionally used as ornaments or gifts during
the holiday season. Our nutcrackers take on a more playful and holy
persona in the form of St. Nicholas, the Pope, a Swiss Guard, and
Cardinals.
Today, nutcrackers are iconic symbols of holiday festivities,
adorning homes and adding to the seasonal charm during Christmas
celebrations worldwide.
