c1900 Folk Art Tramp Art Box

About the Item

An antique tramp art box. A beautiful & early piece of tramp art, intricately layered in the traditional manner with notch carved wooden strips & finished with a pressed brass lion ring handle to the lid. A super, early & very original example. Tramp art was made by untrained artisans during the 19th & 20th century & was made using easily obtained materials such as cigar boxes, natural wood & reclaimed fixtures & fittings. This piece is a wonderful surviving example of such work. Late 19th / early 20th century. Wear commensurate with age with associated minor losses which do nothing to detract. Unrestored.
