A highly detailed tramp art chest with two stacked lidded compartments above a sliding drawer, richly decorated with chip-carved edges, brass tacks, and small mirrored insets on the upper tier. These reflective touches, a hallmark of the style, add depth and light to the piece while speaking to the maker’s resourceful use of materials.
Size: 8.5”x4”x 5”
Collector’s Note: Multi-tier tramp art boxes are far less common than single-compartment forms, and examples in this condition are especially sought after. Original mirrored panels further enhance desirability, offering a glimpse into the inventive decorative traditions of folk art makers.
