AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A distinctive hand-carved wooden nutcracker, richly decorated with geometric and floral motifs throughout.
The piece features two long curved handles with deeply carved triangular and linear patterns. The rounded head is particularly elaborate, with radial floral/star motifs, repeated geometric carving and a sculptural toothed outer edge. The traditional hinged construction operates by bringing the wooden jaws together.
The craftsmanship and extensive decoration make this an attractive example of traditional folk-art woodworking, both as a functional object and as a decorative collector's piece.
Condition: Good vintage condition with visible signs of age and use. The wood shows natural variations in colour, patina, surface wear and small marks consistent with previous use. Please study the photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the description.
Dimensions: approximately 20 cm long × 7.3 cm wide
Weight: approximately 1,006 g (1.006 kg)
The exact maker, geographical origin and date of manufacture are unknown; therefore no unsupported attribution is made.
A characterful and unusual piece for collectors of folk art, traditional wooden utensils and ethnographic decorative objects.
