Mid-century Modern Brass Decorative Nut Cracker in Walnut Shape, 1970s. This is a solid brass nutcracker, sculpted in the naturalistic form of a walnut. The two-part hinged construction opens smoothly to reveal a functional interior designed for cracking nuts, while the exterior features a richly textured shell surface. The warm golden patina shows authentic age and use, enhancing its sculptural presence rather than detracting from it. Both practical and decorative, this piece sits comfortably within mid-century modern tableware and object design, when everyday tools were often elevated into tactile design objects. Its substantial weight and solid casting confirm quality manufacture rather than later lightweight decorative reproductions. A highly decorative object for display in a kitchen, bar setting, or design-focused interior, equally appealing to collectors of brass objects and mid-century utilitarian design. It’s in an excellent condition. Dimensions: Height 7 Width 13 Depth 9 cm
