20th-century Tramp Art Box

This early 20th-century Tramp Art cabinet is among John Derian's trove of handpicked vintage & antique goods. Antique tramp art boxes and storage are carved from layered scraps of wood, meticulously notched and stacked into geometric, chip-carved patterns. They reflect the tramp art movement’s resourcefulness and quiet devotion to ornament, and transforming humble materials into personal objects.
