The king needs to eat and his court hunter is responsible for bringing back the finest game. The hand-painted Steinbach Court Hunter nutcracker is signed by Karla Steinbach and ready to go on the hunt with his loyal dog. This beautifully crafted nutcracker wears a hunter's garb and hat and is hand-crafted from the finest materials.

The Court Hunter stands 14 inches tall and is part of Steinbach's charming King's Court series of nutcrackers. This nutcracker is a delightful addition to any collection and sure to become a family heirloom.

The Steinbach nutcracker tradition began centuries ago in the Alpine regions of Germany. In legend the nutcracker possessed miraculous powers bringing good fortune and protection from evil spirits and the more elaborate their decorations the stronger their powers. The Steinbach family began producing wood products in 1832. Today Herr Steinbach and his daughter Karla continue the tradition. Steinbach Nutcrackers are timeless family heirlooms to pass down from generation to generation.

Each Steinbach Nutcracker is created using eight major processes - from the cutting of the wood to the hand-painting of details - and can involve up to 130 separate procedures. Each hand-crafted Steinbach Nutcracker is made in Germany by the artisans at the renowned Steinbach factory. The history quality detail and superior craftsmanship of Steinbach nutcrackers is unmatched.
