Very Large Rare "Uncle Sam" Tramp Art Buffet
Located in Coeur d'Alene, ID
Uncle Sam Tramp Art buffet. The back is a curtain of stars, with Uncle Sam's stove top hat. The front comes to a corner, with an eagle head on both sides, flanked by stars; 44" W x 28" D x 67" H. Solid and incredibly carved. Tramp Art of this size is not easy to come by!
Tramp art is a style of woodworking which emerged in America the latter half of the nineteenth century.
