Monumental Antique Tramp Art Chip-Carved Chest with Medallion

$1,200.00

Monumental Antique Tramp Art Chip-Carved Chest

Dimensions: 17.3" W x 11.5" D x 7.75" H

Description: A large-scale chest in the tramp art style, constructed using the characteristic chip-carving technique. Geometric patterns are notched into the layered wood, forming a stepped border. The top features a central scrollwork medallion. The sides are recessed with a stacked, layered design.

Construction Notes: The assembly is characterized by the prominent use of cut or forged nailheads. Their pronounced, visible heads are a consistent feature throughout the piece's construction, serving as both a functional fastener and a distinct visual element.

Commentary: The scale of this piece is unusual for the tramp art form. Its dimensions classify it as a tabletop chest, and the carving is executed in a bold, simplified manner. The surface shows wear and a mellowed patina consistent with age. Please refer to the photos for details.
