About the Item

This early 20th century French tramp art box is a captivating example of folk craftsmanship, celebrated for its layered carving and imaginative detail. Constructed from wood and meticulously decorated with chip-carved geometric and floral motifs, the surface displays the distinctive, rhythmic patterns characteristic of tramp art. Small roundels and notched edges add depth and texture, while the rich, aged patina highlights decades of handling and use. The hinged lid opens to reveal a charming interior lined with period imagery and ephemera, enhancing its narrative quality and sense of personal history. Both sculptural and functional, this box was likely used for storing keepsakes or personal items. Today, it serves as a striking decorative object, ideal for collectors or interiors seeking authentic folk art character, historical intrigue, and handcrafted charm.
