Antique Chip-Carved Tramp Art Dresser with Mirror
A compact, tabletop dresser in the Tramp Art style, dating from the late 19th to early 20th century. The piece is constructed using the characteristic chip-carving method, creating a layered, geometric surface.
The primary features include:
A central mirror with a heavily carved frame.
Two long, small drawers at the top.
Two larger, primary drawers below.
Chip-carved leaf motifs applied to both sides.
Notable historical details:
The original cigar box labels remain attached inside the larger drawers.
One drawer interior is lined with antique design paper.
The dresser has a dark, aged patina and is in good, stable condition. All wear is consistent with its age. A collectible example of American folk art.
Condition: Structurally sound. Surface shows expected scuffs, minor cracks, and wear. Mirror glass is original with minor imperfections. A small piece of the carved detail is missing on the top drawer. This could have also been how the artist created it.
