When was tramp art created?
1 Answer
Tramp art is art made from discarded or ‘found’ wood materials, such as shipping pallets or boxes that products such as cigars or fruit came in. Tramp art is crafted using a method of carving called chip carving. It first began to take off in the late 1800s. Shop an array of antique tramp art from top sellers on 1stDibs.
