1897 Tramp Art Box
Tramp art is a folk art style that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, characterized by intricate chip carving and layered geometric designs, often using repurposed materials like cigar boxes and wooden crates.
Tramp art is believed to have originated around the 1860s–1870s, primarily in the United States and Europe. It was practiced by both itinerant craftsmen (often associated with laborers, railway workers, and even hobos) and skilled artisans working at home.
Artists repurposed discarded wooden boxes, primarily cigar boxes and packing crates, carving notches and layering them into intricate, decorative patterns.
The hallmark of tramp art is chip carving, where small, repeated triangular cuts create texture. Pieces were often built up in multiple layers for a sculptural effect.
