About the Item

Large tramp art box with lid and brass handle, folk art object made of layered pieces of gold, partly gold colored, from the late first half of the 20th century. Beautiful form of folk art, anyone could make a tramp art object with what they had on hand, that is why there are very rarely 2 identical pieces, these unique items have a high collector's value and are very sought after.

Some of the defining characteristics of tramp art include chip or notch carving, the reclamation of cheap or available wood, such as that from cigar boxes and shipping crates, the use of simple tools such as pocket knives and the layering of materials into geometric shapes by means of glue or nails.
