Christian Ulbricht Nutcracker - Black Forest Man - Clock Maker
Introducing the Christian Ulbricht Nutcracker - The Black Forest Man or better known as the Clock Maker with Clock, a stunning German-made masterpiece.
This exquisite nutcracker, crafted by Christian Ulbricht, depicts a clock maker holding a finely detailed clock. With meticulous attention to detail and exceptional craftsmanship, it embodies the beauty of German tradition.
German Nutcrackers in the shape of Soldiers or Kings have been in use since the 15th century! The unsmiling figures are thought to be lucky, and provide protection for the household as they stand sentry on the mantle.
A “good” Nutcracker could be made from up to 130 carefully assembled pieces! Originally, the jaws were strong enough to crack walnuts. Today’s Nutcrackers are more decorative
In 1928, Christian Ulbricht’s father Otto founded the Ulbricht‘s Workshop for Fine Wooden Crafts and Toys in the small town Seiffen, in the heart of the Ore Mountains. Although the family moved to the west after the War, in 1990, his son Christian Ulbricht brought the company back to its original home in the Erzgebirge. Today, “the family and their team create traditional wooden art that brings joy to grown-ups and children alike. And in every single piece the spirit of Christmas is alive.”
