The hand-colored lithograph on the front of the slide top box holding this parquetry set reads "The Art of Parqueter" across the top and then "Chinese Puzzle" below

The winder can be a bit jerky if held horizontally rather than vertically (but not problematically so

Woman on Beach with Striped Chairs and Umbrella Diver, Transportive c. 1920s-30s Snapshot still life with jug almost like a gray rainbowI love everything about this snapshot, between this woman's whites and the layers of stripes on those chairs and cushions, and the diver on the umbrella, lending the perfect directional diagonal to complete the composition. Looks like our woman has a cigarette between her raised fingers too, perhaps about to blow a perfect smoke ring! 4 1 2" x 2 3 4". Good condition, c, 1920s 30s I believe.
