TEKA Puzzle 500 Red Umbrella Józef Mehoffer CASTOR is a 500-piece cardboard jigsaw puzzle reproducing the artwork "Red Umbrella" by Józef Mehoffer. The puzzle pieces interlock to form a single detailed image suitable for adults and older children.

The CASTOR-printed reproduction aims to preserve the original artwork's colour and composition at a moderate puzzle size optimized for home use.

Advantages

This 500-piece puzzle provides a balanced challenge: it is more demanding than small-piece puzzles but still manageable in a reasonable time frame. The cardboard pieces are cut to standard jigsaw shapes to ensure reliable fit and stable connections. The printed surface captures the artwork's colour palette and details to allow accurate visual matching while assembling. Designed for repeated use, the assembled image can be used for framing or as a temporary display after careful gluing.

How to use

Open the box and sort pieces by edge and colour to create an initial framework.

For long-term display, apply puzzle glue to the front surface and mount the assembled puzzle on a backing board before framing. Store unused pieces in the original box or a resealable container to prevent loss.

Usage recommendations

Place the puzzle on a flat, well-lit surface and keep small pieces away from very young children. Allow adequate drying time if using glue and follow glue manufacturer's instructions. To preserve the printed surface, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
