FAQs

Originally known as dissected maps, early jigsaw puzzles were invented in the 18th century as educational tools for teaching geography and history to children of affluent families.

Traditional puzzles from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries were typically constructed from hardwoods such as mahogany or cedar, with hand-coloured paper lithographs mounted onto the surface using animal glue.

Authentic pieces often feature hand-cut interlocking shapes with interlocking nibs cut by hand using a fretsaw, hand-coloured engravings, and subtle signs of age such as oxidation of the paper and minor wear along the edges.

An antique puzzle can be professionally framed behind conservation-grade glass to serve as a striking wall art piece in a study or hallway, highlighting its historical graphic appeal.

Preservation requires storing or displaying the item away from direct sunlight and high humidity to prevent paper degradation, fading of the hand-applied watercolours, and warping of the wooden backing.
