Antique Tramp Art Hinged Box Jewelry Dresser Box

This is a very unique and unusual hinged lid box that is done in a stacked-up design of wooden slats made from old cigar boxes that graduate in size and have decorative notched edges, giving this unique piece of tramp art a pyramid shape. The interior of the felt lined box for storing one’s items measures 7 1/4″ x 8 3/4″. The hinges are still in working order, and this box measures 12″ x 13 1/2″ on the exterior measurements. The highest point on this box is 5″ high, the interior of the box is only 3″ high. This is a very unusual piece of American tramp art that would make a special addition to one’s own personal collection. I am not certain of the type of wood, again it would have been made from old cigar boxes, it does appear to be a darker wood, more like walnut wood in color.  A very beautiful and unique storage box that would work as a jewelry box, or a dresser box for hair accessories.
