This is a fine French Brass Nutcracker both sides have well modeled busts of a famous clown, Pierrot, a character in French pantomime. Pierrot wore a loose white tunic with big buttons, balloon sleeves, white pantaloons, and his face was painted white. A 17th Century creation, he captured the essence of the ever hopeful but always disappointed lover. The modeling, finish, and detail are quite nice on this brass nut cracker. It has a bright gold brass patina; the insides have a striated finish, and are hollowed out to hold two sizes of nuts. It is in very good condition; the date is circa 1910. The measurements (in inches): 5.5 tall X 1.4 wide X 1.7 deep; the weight is 11.2 Oz. Shipping and Insurance by USPS Priority Mail within the U.S. is $5.00. Please see our other listings for fine brass items. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding!
