Genest Le Colimacon - Boxes of Large Jigsaws
Genest's early largest jigsaws were sold in these superb boxes, which include some fretwork or an additional jigsaw in the lid. His large jigsaws remain superb, but are now sold in the plain boxes so these are now collectors pieces. Genest still produces these unpainted jigsaws for you to customise (see his etsy shop).
BCD Mtg 2016 - I took one of my two large jigsaws by Genest Le Colimacon along to the BCD meeting so that members could see the beautiful boxes with an extra hand-painted puzzle in the lid. The smaller puzzles also come in a wooden box but these puzzles are all larger than 1000pc (1000 - 1600pc, although I'm not sure if the two upper ones are additional puzzles or beautifully cut pierced wood with painted background).
The one I took along was the one with the green insert, Le Colimacon Genest 1000pc Tibetan thangka c12x19in. I haven't assembled this jigsaw yet, but you can still see a copy on Genest's 'little market' site (the box is like the ones on the top row).
