An exceptional piece of late 19th to early 20th-century Folk Art. Hand-crafted using the iconic "Tramp Art" technique, this lidded wooden box is built from meticulously hand-notched, layered timber glued and pinned to form stepped, architectural geometric borders.
The lid features a dramatic stepped pyramid structure capped with turned wooden and brass finial accents. Small round brass studs accent the corners and borders, contrasting beautifully against the warm, aged blonde wood finish. The box is elevated on four turned wooden bun feet and features a decorative rosette knob on the front face.
A remarkable historical object for collectors of primitive Americana, European folk art, or rustic, tactile interiors.
Design Style: 19th Century Tramp Art / Primitive Folk Art
Dimensions: 21 cm Width x 17 cm Depth x 17 cm Height
Materials: Hand-Carved Layered Wood, Brass Studs, Metal Hardware
Technique: Chip Carving & Notched Layering
Condition
Very good antique condition given its age and delicate construction. The carved wood layers remain tight and structurally sound throughout. Retains its natural honey-blonde patina with minor, honest surface age wear, light dust, and faint patina variations on the brass tacks. All feet, finials, and studs are intact. Clean interior, ready for display or functional storage.
