Description from the seller

An exquisite collectible Nutcracker music box celebrating three artistic legends - The Nutcracker Ballet, the black lacquer artistry of the Russian Palekh Masters, and the magnificent style of Peter Carl Faberge - was available only from The Bradford Exchange.

The egg and base of this dramatic collectible egg-shaped music box are expertly handcrafted from fine Heirloom Porcelain, adorned with vignettes and a base panorama that depict classic scenes from The Nutcracker Ballet, each captured in the rich colors and details found in the stunning artwork of the Palekh masters.

This extraordinary Peter Carl Faberge-style musical egg is hinged and opens to reveal an enameled pewter sculpture of the Nutcracker Prince.

The egg, base, and Nutcracker Prince are adorned with gleaming 22K-gold accents, scrollwork, and sparkling simulated gems.

Musical movement plays Tchaikovsky's classic melody, 'The Nutcracker Suite March'.

Measures approximately 14 cm in height.

Very limited edition, numbered on the base. It makes an ideal Christmas gift.

It will be shipped securely, well-packaged, and fully insured.
