About the Item
This intricately hand-carved Tramp Art crucifix dates to circa 1880 and exemplifies the resourceful and expressive craftsmanship characteristic of the genre. Constructed from layered and chip-carved wood, likely from repurposed cigar boxes, this freestanding wooden cross features detailed zig-zag and pyramid motifs typical of Tramp Art design. The cruciform is mounted on a stepped, octagonal base, giving it stability and presence for display on a table or altar.
The piece is well-shaped with symmetrical proportions and a warm patina developed over time, enhancing its folk-art charm. Tramp Art was predominantly crafted by itinerant artisans or hobbyists in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, often using simple tools and salvaged materials. This crucifix reflects both devotional purpose and artistic ingenuity.
A striking addition to any collection of religious art, folk art, or Americana. It would also make a unique spiritual statement piece in a rustic or vintage interior setting.
