Vintage Folk Art frame with lots of hand-carved details instained wood.
Known as “tramp art” and made popular in the late 1800s,these carved folk art wood pieces were made using found things, old wood,bottle caps, and cigar boxes.
This frame is a wonderful example of carved rough wood puttogether with glue and old square head nails to form an extended square.
Each one of the four corners has carved maple-type leaves,showing old square head nails attaching them to the frame.
The inside area of the frame has a plaster-type rim paintedin gold; this may have been added during the Victorian period to add a bit ofcolor.
This gold area has places of wear, and small scratches dueto its soft surface.
