Pair of Large Wood Tramp Art Frames with Mirror, Circa 1880, France

About the Item

It is very rare to find a pair of these frames of this large size, quality and complexity. The pieces have been hand carved and assembled like a 3-dimensional puzzle. The pitch pine frames with dark patina date from circa 1880. They were originally intended to be picture frames, the mirrors were added later. Tramp art is a style of woodworking which emerged in America in the latter half of the 19th century. The term "tramp work" describes crafts constructed from waste materials such as discarded cigar boxes and assembled with a penknife. Dimensions of the mirror: H41 x W 28 cm France 1880s
