Description from the seller

Unique tramp art box with a bold, honest appearance. This wooden box is entirely handmade and richly decorated with geometric carving motifs and star-shaped rosettes. The decorations are deep and carefully cut, clearly showcasing the craftsmanship.

The edge of the lid is finished with a serrated frame, typical for tramp art. This type of box was often made from recycled wood and testifies to creativity, craftsmanship, and patience. The interior is simply finished, as is customary for this type of object, and offers practical storage space.

The chest has been treated against woodworms and is therefore suitable for continued storage and use. A characterful collectible that is both decorative and historically interesting.

Dimensions
Height 16 cm
Width 29.5 cm
Depth 23 cm
