Description from the seller

Superb and rare silvered-brass nutcracker, made in England, dating from the 1940s/1950s, finely worked and depicting the face of a jester or joker. Over the years it has developed a sublime patina, in solid silvered brass, quite heavy at 300 grams for a height of 18 cm. No cracks, some light signs of use, minor loss of silvering. This superb piece, by its presence, will enhance a table and remind us that objects of yesteryear were of quality and beautiful.
