Intricate American Tramp Art Box circa 1900
-
Description
This special Tramp Art box was made by hand from wooden cigar boxes at the turn of the 20th century and has six different geometric patterned designs, one on each side. For the extra touch, we lined the interior with wall paper. We were exited to find this piece because we are big fans of tramp art, a unique folk art that is becoming harder to find.
