Cutlery set - Bronze

This old nutcracker is a collectible piece in solid brass or polished bronze. It stands out for the following: Visual & Artistic Details Figurative Face: The sculpted head represents a character from classical theatre, akin to Pierrot or a court jester. The face displays expressive features with narrowed eyes, a slightly open mouth revealing teeth, and a smooth, typical cap (skullcap). Metallic Finish: The gilded and textured patina shows characteristic reflections of ancient copper alloys (brass or cast bronze). Design of the Arms: The pleated collar of the costume serves as a hinge. The two movable arms forming the handle are sculpted with geometric motifs and raised buttons, evoking the costume of a clown or street performer.
