Chic and trendy lacquered decor with OXI: a unique nutcracker to brighten up the end of the year

Nothing is more satisfying than creating truly bespoke, handmade decorations. It's easy to decorate pine cones, walnut shells, and other decorative items to add sparkle to a festive table or simply your home.

In recent years, a new trend has emerged with the arrival of decorated nutcrackers and their warm authenticity.

Classic nutcracker, lacquered in gold, red, black and green or in a psychedelic version of pink, purple, clementine, gentian and emerald, anything goes with these warm little wooden men from Germany to decorate endlessly.

Nutcrackers first appeared in Germany in the 17th century. To move beyond the traditional tools used for cracking nuts, carpenters began carving nutcrackers into the shape of characters, sometimes inspired by real people or fairy tales.

They quickly become an integral part of the holiday season tradition and warm up interiors with their shimmering colors.

Although they were mostly found in Anglo-Saxon countries, they are now also part of our French traditions.

Nutcrackers become true collector's items and decorate tables, entrances, fireplaces, staircases, alongside traditional decorations.

Made of wood, they are very easy to decorate yourself according to your desires to decorate your interior and create a unique collection of Nutcrackers or even to give them as gifts!

To make them unique, simply coat them with a good quality lacquer which will give them all their shine.

The Durieu Group, with its Oxi brand, has created a glossy, water-based enamel lacquer, LAQUE DÉCOR.

No solvents and a beautiful shimmering or modern finish for this lacquer ideal for interior decoration of objects, trinkets, or even furniture and woodwork... Chic, classic or quirky finish, anything is possible!
