Marvelous Antique Tramp Art Box with Hearts Everywhere and Wallpaper Lining sapolin gold leaf kit While still great for spices

While still great for spices

it is a piece with a strong but nuanced presence

with a small tear to the top edge of the spine

or great on the counter for holding mail

dating to the 1940s I am pretty certain

Marvelous Antique Tramp Art Box with Hearts Everywhere and Wallpaper Lining sapolin gold leaf kit While still great for spicesThis is for certain my favorite tramp art box I've had, which photos can't do justice, as it needs to be felt as much as seen, just dripping with character, and love, and presence. Two hearts on front, two hearts on back, one heart on each short side, and two more on top. Plus brass lion heads holding rings, old iron nails all over, bits of printed text on the cigar box wood here and there, wall paper lining, and a Superiore cigar box label portrait
