Embrace the unique charm and craftsmanship of this French 1911 Tramp Art Box.

Tramp art, a style of woodworking from the late 19th to early 20th century, involved whittling layers of wood into intricate, geometric patterns, often using simple tools like pocket knives.

Originating from the artistic endeavors of itinerant workers and craftsmen, tramp art pieces are cherished for their rustic beauty and detailed handwork.

This particular box, crafted in 1911, showcases classic tramp art techniques with layered notches and carved embellishments.

Its rich history and artistry make it a captivating find for collectors of folk art or anyone appreciating the tactile legacy of bygone days.

Stored within its sturdy yet elaborately decorated confines are not just objects but stories of a past era.
