VII.
This full size 18" nutcracker is Christian Steinbach’s interpretation of "TCHAIKOVSKY", the famous Russian composer who created the most performed ballet ever – "The Nutcracker Suite". The maestro "TCHAIKOVSKY" is dressed in regal attire: a luxurious fur hat and dark blue satin cape edged in fur with a large fur collar.
Underneath the cape he wears a dark blue & wine colored suit with pearl buttons. He holds a fancy gold & white swirled baton and a chain holding three mini nutcrackers – characters from his "Nutcracker Suite" ballet. Each mini figure is intricately detailed with clothing, hats and swords. "TCHAIKOVSKY" also holds the original hang tag with a thumbnail history of himself. The piece if #7606 of a retired limited edition of 10,000 pieces and bears the stamp of authenticity on the bottom. Best of all, the figure is signed and dated 2001 by the creator Christian Steinbach.
Apparently it was signed after 9/11 because it is also stamped "UNITED WE STAND". Sadly, Herr Steinbach passed away in 2007, well into his eighties, after a long and productive career creating his beautifully detailed German nutcrackers. "TCHAIKOVSKY" comes to
you in absolute mint condition, with the original box and
has lived in a smoke free home. This Steinbach,
hand signed, detailed nutcracker is being offered at
a price of $ 309.15, Which includes FREE shipping, handling
and insurance. VIII. First in the "FAMOUS
ROYALTY" series created
by Christian Steinbach – the premiere producer of German
nutcrackers. "HENRY VIII", who was King of England, is most famous for having six different wives. The most famous of the group was Ann Boelyn whom he had beheaded. The child born of their brief marriage grew to become Queen Elizabeth I who ruled England for more than 50 years during its golden age of strength and power during the 16th and 17th centuries. This full size 17 ˝" nutcracker depicts "HENRY VIII" as the rotund ruler he was known to be. He wears a red and wine colored full coat trimmed in gold; underneath there is a gold brocade tunic, white leggings and golden shoes. His outfit is topped off with a black & wine colored velvet hat trimmed with white fur and red jewels. His hair is meticulously cut and his mustache & beard are precisely groomed.

royal splendor. He sports a long red velvet coat with silver
& gold detailing, lace ascot and cuffs, a silver sash holds
