Antique Desktop Tramp Art Vanity with Mirror and Drawers
Antique Tramp Art Vanity with Mirror & Three Drawers
This late 19th/early 20th century tramp art vanity was crafted from repurposed wooden boxes, as evidenced by the surviving manufacturer's label fragment on its surface. The piece displays exceptional chip-carved decoration featuring two distinct patterns: traditional geometric motifs across its body and rare scalloped arches along the base. Meticulously constructed from what was likely cigar or produce boxes, the vanity features three functional drawers with carved pulls and retains its original mirror, now with a desirable antique patina.
Size: 20"H x 10"W x 6.5"D
Materials: Reclaimed pine/cedar (original box wood) with period finish
Condition: Excellent structural integrity with expected surface wear; mirror shows age-appropriate oxidation
A superb example of tramp art's resourceful tradition, where humble packaging materials were transformed into objects of beauty. The unusual scalloped base and three-drawer configuration suggest particularly skilled craftsmanship.

Note: The preserved label fragment adds exceptional provenance, documenting the time period when the vanity was created.
