About the Item
A French Tramp Art wooden box dating to circa 1890, intricately hand-carved with the layered, notched construction characteristic of the style. The rectangular form is richly ornamented with raised diamond motifs on all sides, each built from carefully notched and stacked wood strips, creating a dynamic interplay of light and shadow. The warm, time-aged finish enhances the depth of the carving, lending the surface a subtle sheen.
The hinged lid opens to reveal a fitted interior with a removable tray divided into compartments, offering both practicality and charm. The interior surfaces retain traces of their original finish, showing the gentle wear of over a century of use. This box’s precise geometric decoration and balanced proportions reflect the skill and patience of its maker, while its folk-art origins and handcrafted irregularities give it unique character.
Likely made as a keepsake or jewelry box, this late 19th-century Tramp Art piece exemplifies the resourceful artistry of the period. With its intricate detail, warm patina, and functional form, it makes an appealing addition to a collection of folk art, antique boxes, or rustic European decorative objects.
