About the Item

Tramp Art Box or Chest, Early 20th Century Finely detailed tramp art box, hand-carved from layers of chip-carved wood and embellished with brass tacks. The intricate geometric construction — built up from notched and layered wooden elements — exemplifies the folk artistry and ingenuity associated with tramp art traditions of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The box displays exceptional craftsmanship, with deeply textured surfaces, carefully balanced symmetry, and decorative metal accents that enhance its architectural quality. The lid lifts to reveal a purple upholstered interior, originally intended for keepsakes or small personal items. Rich patina and subtle variations in tone reflect its age and handmade nature, giving it both sculptural presence and historical charm.
