Tramp art is an important art movement maybe not yet comparable to other important art movements throughout our culture but it is a testament to the ability of the common man untrained in the arts to produce objects of immense artistic integrity. Their movement was one of the first to use discarded materials to make objects of art as well as utilitarian objects for everyday use.
Tramp art is an art movement found throughout the world where small pieces of wood, primarily from discarded cigar boxes and shipping crates, are whittled into layers of geometric patterns having the outside edges of each layer notch carved. The artists used simple tools such as a pocketknife to carve the recycled wood.
It was popular in the years between the 1870s to the 1940s after which the art form started to decline. It was made in prodigious numbers. The most common forms were the box and the frame. Although there were no rules or patterns to lend commonality in the artists’ work there were objects made in every conceivable shape and size including full sized furniture and objects of whimsy. From Tramp Art .com - Clifford Wallach
It's fun to imagine a ruggedly handsome gent, pouring his heart into the making of this lovely gift for his sweetheart. The exterior of the box only now hints at the majesty of the interior, where the emerald green velvet is the same color as the day our hero installed it. The interior drawers he lined in red, the color of our hearts, for tucking away the most precious objects. There is a plaque on the front of the box that probably displayed the couple's initials long ago and a plaque on the back of the box that had hand carved numbers to display a year. It appears the date was 1898.
