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.
