About the Item

A rare and important piece of Americana, this 19th-century folk art diorama captures the historic town of East Hampton in remarkable detail. Housed in its original gilt frame, the scene is crafted entirely from cork, set against a delicate blue paper background. The gilt frame features a simple garland of leaves and flowers, adding subtle elegance without distracting from the intricacy of the scene within. This work offers both presence and charm, pieces of this caliber are seldom found, an evocative glimpse into American folk traditions and community life of the 19th century.
