Nutcrackers, Nativities, Angels+

Our collection of Nutcrackers, Nativities and Guardian Angels is composed of the work of different groups of artists. We carry nice quality figurines for less than $200.00, and unique rare and of amazing museum -highest possible -quality works for more than $1500.00. Choose any and see that the purchased piece has a great value indeed!

Both groups of artists - who craft regular and affordable figures and one of a kind figurines- are Russian talented professional carvers and painters.  Usually they collaborate in workshops, or can craft individually. Nutcrackers, Nativity sets, Snowmen carvings, Angels which they deliver as a result of their arduous and scrupulous work are scarce in comparison with the offered by the market broad variety of Santas, nesting dolls, lacquer boxes, Christmas ornaments. To make a nutcracker for example a special talent is required, and not every carver is capable to produce one. Some angels we carry are almost $10,000 in retail and there are only few artists of this caliber who can exquisitely craft those. We make every effort to carry as many carvings and sets of these wooden handcrafted treasures  as possible since they are popular items to collect. Most of them are not expensive but of high quality.

We cherish our connections and appreciate the expertise of our partners in business, so you can acquire and enjoy for many years to come these wonderful rare pieces of art.

Great News! We are expecting another nutcracker - now "Nikolai II"- which is going to be number two copy of the design. The best linden wood - Amour tilia- is used to create this wonderful rare museum quality work! Tempera, gouache and acrylic applied in a combination painting technique add to its glamour and outstanding work. The orders masterfully painted and burned on the military clothes of the last Czar of Russia (the colonel of the Preobrazhenskiy Regiment) show the craftsmanship at its best. Please click the link to know more: https://www.alkotagifts.com/product/nikolai-ii-18h-nu57-russian-unique-wooden-collectible-nutcracker-coming-soon Look at the drum stand: all four sides are decorated with the Coat of Arms of the Golshtein-Gottorp-Romanov Dinasty as well as with emblems of the Russian Army.

INDIAN NUTCRACKER figurine

Permalink Submitted by editor on Thu, 09/19/2019 - 10:39.
There is a wonderful and a complicated (from the crafting point of view) nutcracker figurine which is shaped as an Indian Cherokee chief. The carving is done and as soon as the artist finishes "Dmitriy Senyavin" she will start implementing her unique decoration technique on Indian Nutcracker. It will be the second copy only (of the carving) in the whole world. The clothes and accessories will be unique, since the colors chosen for this copy will be completely different from the first one (please see nu31).

"Dmitriy Senyavin"
