Two WG Barton Jigsaws & CE Clifford & Co 5
Two jigsaws cut by WG Barton, of Ravensdale, Old Bushey, Herts. (These are the only two in my records.)
Centre Right: WG Barton 80pc Summer Flower Garden, 3repl, image possibly 1889, unsold Feb 2021.
Left Half, including diagonal: WG Barton 252pc Old Tapestry 12x13in or 11x12in, sold in Aug 2015 by stgenix (resold Feb 2020, when I bought it). (The photos are from different dates) An interesting loopy longarm cut. Stgenix said the print was from the CE Clifford Gallery. Could WG Barton be the cutter of the loopy CE Clifford jigsaws?
Bottom Centre & Right: Two examples of jigsaws made for CE Clifford & Co Ltd, Picture Restorers, Carvers, Guilders, Print Sellers, Publishers & Framemakers, of 12 Bury St, St James' London SW which are not cut in the smooth push-fit style of William Peacock. The cuts are interesting with rounded longarms and include line-cutting and traces of interrupted edges.

CE Clifford & Co Ltd 173pc Harfleur by WJ Ayling, 7.5x10in, sold Aug 2015.
