Tramp art is known for its intricate designs, typically created from carved and layered wood, such as cigar boxes or discarded materials. These pieces reflect the resourcefulness of itinerant workers and individuals from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Our collection of tramp art includes beautifully detailed boxes, frames, and decorative items that bring charm and history into your home.
