Early 20th-century Blue Painted Tramp Art Chest

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. With three small drawers and a backspash featuring ornate leaf-shaped carvings, its size makes it a great fit for tabletop, desk, or dresser-top use.
