BEST OF BRITISH READER OFFER SOUVENIRS.

Jigsaw Offer

Enjoy the pleasure of these traditional wooden jigsaws

Hand-cut wooden jigsaw puzzles were once set to become a thing of the past with the introduction of cardboard puzzles and mass production. But since 1994, the golden age of these puzzles has been re-created in a glorious series from Wentworth Wooden Jigsaws, produced at their factory in Wiltshire.

The Best of British selection of puzzles includes images by some of our favourite nostalgic artists. In each design, every piece is cut to a different shape using computer-controlled lasers, following the Victorian fashion of cutting shapes that often reflect the theme of the image.

  • Each puzzle contains around 250 pieces and measures approximately 14” x 10”.

  • The puzzles are cut from 3mm thick wood composites to ensure a long life and are presented in a cotton drawstring bag within a premium quality lidded box.

PRICE: £24-95 each.

SPECIAL OFFER – Buy two jigsaw puzzles for £44-90, or four jigsaws for only £79-80!

Prices include p&p within the UK. For Europe please add 50 pence per puzzle, or Rest of World add £2-50 per puzzle.

Overseas orders may be shipped in more than one parcel at no extra cost.
