Cartouche puzzles center on decorative frames, nameplates, or panels — think ornate scrollwork, gilded borders, heraldic shields, or Egyptian cartouches with hieroglyphs. These images often feature symmetrical designs, intricate filigree, vintage labels, embossed typography, or a central emblem set against textured backgrounds like parchment, marble, or lacquer. The mood ranges from elegant and historic to whimsical and mysterious, inviting careful edge-matching and detail-spotting. Ideal for lovers of antiques, typography, Art Nouveau, Baroque ornament, and richly patterned close-ups — perfect for a focused, satisfying build.
