Turn of the Century Hand Carved Tramp Art Wooden Jewelry Box, Circa 1900

Description

An amazing vintage handmade Tramp Art wooden box with lower drawer circa early 1900s. This piece is a fine quality work with great detail, both in the hand carving and the assembly. This piece features forest green velvet, tin, and brass design details. As with many of these types of boxes, this looks to have started as two stacked cigar or other boxes that have been elevated into a charming jewelry box.

Overall this is an incredible and impressive piece of American Folk Art and will make an interesting and unusual addition to your decor.
