The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Tramp art is a genre of folk art that flourished between the 1870s and 1940s, characterised by the layering of notch-carved wood reclaimed from cigar boxes and shipping crates.

Craftsmen predominantly utilised soft woods such as pine or cedar sourced from repurposed boxes, employing pocketknives to carve notch patterns into stacked geometric layers fastened with small nails.

Authentic pieces display natural timber ageing, uneven hand-carved notches, historical fastener marks, and occasionally period features such as velvet linings or metal corner brackets.

Position the box on a sideboard, desk, or bookshelf alongside smooth modern ceramics or glassware to highlight its textured geometric carving through visual contrast.

Keep the object away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent wood movement or shrinkage, and clean the carved recesses using a soft dry brush.
