About the Item

Extra large, heavyweight, sculptural cast brass walnut paperweights or nutcrackers that are truly art. We love these on a desk as whimsical display pieces. With the large sizes, and functionality (they crack nuts well), these are the perfect gifts for friends or colleagues who have everything. These Midcentury era pieces are cast with a texture and form of oversized walnuts with interiors that features three rows of serrated blades that fit together when closed to crack nuts. Such a great hand feel in these useful and decorative objects. These looks lovely on bar carts, entry hall consoles, and would be great as jewelry drops on a night stand, on a tray with perfume bottles, or anywhere an air of wit feels right.
