Antique Fruitwood Squirrel Nutcracker
A delightful fruitwood nutcracker carved in the form of a squirrel dating from the turn of the 18th/19th century. The condition of this item is excellent and the quality of the carving superb. There is evidence of very minor historic woodworm, this is long dead but we have treated it again for peace of mind. A wonderful unusual, practical and humorous item to place on the drinks tray.
