Chad Valley 250pc Cavalcade or Procession of the Magi by Bennozzo Gozzoli DSC05220
I bought this jigsaw in Feb 2013, very early in my collecting of vintage jigsaws. It had 1pcmiss costing me £17+pp and at that time I think I'd already bought the Liberty jigsaw showing the Young King. Having lent it to a neighbour I thought it was time to do it myself, so I could include it in a bundle to be sent for replacement pieces.
I was impressed by the quality of the ply, thick 5-ply, and also by the line-cutting - although limited in its extent - which I don't believe is common in Chad Valley jigsaws. Some of the pieces were extremely large. I started the jigsaw from the sky, then the foreground and finally the middle.
My records contain two other examples of this Chad Valley jigsaw, both with some line-cutting - May 2013 - resold Feb 2016 £11, Aug 2014 £26.
