Description from the seller

Antique Austrian Silver Nutcracker – A masterpiece from the Monarchy period (1867-1937)

A rare, museum-quality antique silver-handled nutcracker that evokes the elegance of the noble households of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. This is not just a kitchen utensil, but a piece of history that still fulfills its function perfectly today.

Material: 800-purity silver handles, with original period hallmark (Austrian hallmark, from the period between 1867-1937).

The cracker head and the mechanism are richly and thickly gilded, the surface is decorated with delicate, hand-engraved floral motifs. There is an elegant, unique monogram engraving at the end of the handle.

Length: approx. 15.5 cm (closed), an impressive 30 cm when opened

Total weight: 138.3 grams, which indicates a solid, quality piece.

In excellent condition for its age! The mechanics work perfectly and without any problems. It can be used immediately or added to a collection.
