Set of Checkerboard Block Forms in Tin Cases
A group of painted wooden block forms housed in fitted tin cases, each marked with a hand-painted black and white checkerboard pattern. The surface wear and irregular brushwork reveal their age and handmade character. Sets like these were often used as early 20th-century puzzles or teaching aids, designed for patterning, spatial play, or basic geometry exercises. The repetition of form and the contrast of paint against tin give the set an unexpected graphic clarity—functional objects turned sculptural through time.
