Lovely Little German Parquetry Puzzle in Original Box janus faced jug Pull the ends together atI'm always on the hunt for older parquetry puzzles like this, so lovely, but they are hard to find. This is just a little one, German, c. 1920s or so, but it's in perfect shape, in the original box, with tri fold booklet showing a variety of designs to be made with the tiles. I do sometimes think I should devote myself entirely to searching for beautiful blocks and related objects of creative play so many good things rolled up into them. 3 1 16" x 7
