Augustus the Strong<br>Steinbach Limited Edition
 
350th Anniversary - Limited Edition
This depiction of August der Starke, or Augustus the Strong is a very limited release from Steinbach for 2019. Loaded with detail, it depicts this famous ruler of Saxony and Poland. He was Elector of Saxony from 1697, Imperial Vicar and elected King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania in the years 16971706 and from 1709 until his death in 1733. Augustus' great physical strength earned him the nicknames "the Strong", "the Saxon Hercules" and "Iron-Hand". He liked to show that he lived up to his name by breaking horseshoes. In order to be elected King of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Augustus converted to Roman Catholicism. As a Catholic, he received the Order of the Golden Fleece from the Holy Roman Emperor. As Elector of Saxony, he is perhaps best remembered as a patron of the arts and architecture. He established the Saxon capital of Dresden as a major cultural center, attracting artists from across Europe to his court. Augustus also amassed an impressive art collection and built lavish baroque palaces in Dresden and Warsaw.

Betsy Ross Sewing the Stars
250th Anniversary

"America's 250th" Series
Created to celebrate the Semi quincentennial of the United States, this depiction of Betsy Ross as a nutcracker honors a defining moment at the birth of a nation. Sitting calmly at her worktable, Betsy Ross is captured in an intimate act of creation. With needle in hand, she carefully stitches the first American flag, its thirteen stars forming a circle of unity and hope with 13 stars for each new united colony. The red, white, and blue fabric drapes naturally across her lap, bringing movement and life to the scene—as if history itself is taking shape stitch by stitch. Her attire reflects the simple elegance of the late 18th century: a blue bodice, delicate white lace, and a traditional bonnet framing a calm yet determined expression. A softly glowing lantern beside her symbolizes guidance, perseverance, and quiet courage, while sewing tools at her feet patiently await their role in shaping the future. As the second figure in Steinbach’s 4th of July Edition and a key part of the 250th Anniversary USA collection, Betsy Ross holds a special place within this historic series. Strictly limited to 500 pieces worldwide, it is a rare and meaningful addition for collectors and history enthusiasts alike. Betsy Ross reminds us that history is often made in quiet rooms—through careful work and unwavering resolve.

Cozy Rose Santa
Steinbach Nutcracker - 2026

Step into a quieter, more tender moment of the Christmas season with Cozy Rose Santa, a charming new addition to our Cozy Santa Series. This nutcracker tells a story not of rushing sleighs or bustling workshops, but of Santa slowing down to savor the joy of giving. Wrapped in a soft rose-colored coat trimmed with plush white fur, Cozy Rose Santa stands gracefully, holding a beautifully wrapped present close to his heart. It’s a scene that feels deeply personal — Santa pausing to admire a gift before placing it under the tree, thinking of the smile it will bring on Christmas morning. In his other hand, he carries a shimmering silver ornament, as if he has just taken it from the box and is about to hang it with care. Whether displayed on its own or as part of a cherished collection, this nutcracker brings a sense of calm and heartfelt joy into your home. Handcrafted in Germany with exceptional care and attention to detail, Cozy Rose Santa is the seventh nutcracker issued in the Cozy Santa series by Steinbach.
