I’d like to have this ‘Bookshelf‘
It’s a jigsaw puzzle from Wentworth Wooden Jigsaws, who make beautiful wooden jigsaws including “whimsy” pieces. Whimsies are specially shaped pieces cut into puzzles “on a whim” by Victorian hand cutters and Wentworth is one of the only companies still producing these unique puzzles. Each piece is a different shape and selected pieces are cut in shapes that may reflect the image. Also the corner pieces aren’t the obvious corner shapes you get in other puzzles and there are straight edged pieces that fit in the middle!
These pieces are from the jigsaw of The Mall, London from a painting by John Sutton. Here is the completed jigsaw.
And here is a close up.
So different from the usual shapes. Haven’t completed a jigsaw in years, will have to check out that firm.

My bookshelves are just about that cluttered, but certainly lack the charm.

Beautiful jig-saws! Especially that bookshelf one. I don’t do them much these days but I used to be a real jig-saw buff.

I didn’t know anyone was still making these kind of puzzles. Neat stuff! I read Anne Williams’ The Jigsaw Puzzle which is a great read if you like this topic.
