I'm always thrilled to find a super sculptural tramp art box, just of this sort, and this one with a fantastic pattern of 12 stacked squares on the hinged lid. It's quite finely done, really almost delicate (though not fragile) -- just over 11 inches across, meaning that all those many many chip carved bits are small in scale and were very precisely laid. Beautiful all the way around with no notable losses, with the exception being the center front foot on the underside--which is a positive loss I think, not affecting its stability but making for an even better view from the front. And inside, an orange velvet lining, and, fittingly, "Golden Seal" printed on the cigar box lid. Really a nice one!
11 1/8” w x 8 1/8” d x 4 1/2” t. Very good condition, sturdy and stable, with hinges well attached.
