Antique Tramp Art Box With Frame

This antique tramp art box, handcrafted from layered and carved cigar box wood, is a remarkable example of folk art from the late 19th to early 20th century. Featuring the distinctive chip-carved, notched construction typical of tramp art, the box is richly textured and carefully assembled by hand. At its center is a faded but poignant family portrait, likely a treasured keepsake framed within the lid. This piece not only showcases the resourcefulness and creativity of its maker—often working with humble, found materials—but also serves as a deeply personal artifact of family history and memory.
