The Historical Significance of the Nutcracker Hussar
The Nutcracker in the guise of a hussar has a special historical significance. In the 19th. century, the hussar gained popularity through the Christmas fairy tale "Nutcracker and Mouse King" by E.T.A.Hoffmann and the famous fairy tale ballet "The Nutcracker" by Tchaikovsky world fame. Originally the hussars came from the light cavalry in Hungary and the Balkan region. Their characteristic uniform with elaborate lacing served as inspiration for this beautiful nutcracker.
The Special Design of the Nutcracker Hussar
The Nutcracker Hussar from Seiffen Folk Art is designed in detail according to historical models. He wears a red uniform with gold trim and epaulettes, a black belt with a gold buckle and a saber - all typical features of the light cavalry. His white pants and knee-high black boots complete the impressive appearance.
