Wentworth wooden jigsaw puzzles are dedicated to those of you who enjoy the wonderfully relaxing, stress-reducing pleasures of wooden jigsaw puzzles.

All Wentworth wooden jigsaw puzzles are craftsman-made to an exceptionally high quality with all pieces fitting perfectly. They are also quite difficult to complete. We call it the 'tease factor'. The pleasure is enhanced by the famous whimsies (also known as silhouette pieces), pieces so-called because, in Victorian times, the cutters cut them on a whim.

Examples of Whimsies/Silhouette Pieces

The whimsies are generally related to the subject of the image, e.g. a wooden jigsaw puzzle of your favorite pet would feature animal whimsies, a wooden jigsaw puzzle of your garden would feature plants, tools, even a gardener leaning on a spade and so on. There are up to 15 whimsies per puzzle.

It's no surprise, therefore, that Wentworth puzzles seem to be achieving a unique, cult-like status throughout the world; rather unusual for jigsaws, don't you think? Wentworth wooden jigsaw puzzles are even becoming collectors items, changing hands for significantly higher prices than the original purchase prices.

These puzzles are so totally absorbing, they are the perfect antidote to the stresses and strains of every day living.

All Wentworth puzzles are cut from a wooden composite called Medite™. This is an FSC (Forest Stewardship Certified) registered product and will provide enduring pleasure to generations of enthusiasts.
