Tramp Art Frame with Original Antique Photograph, American, 19th Century

This Tramp Art frame is a complete and deeply charming time capsule, its densely chip-carved wood surround still housing its original antique photograph of a 19th century American building with figures posed out front. The frame is worked in tight concentric rows of pyramid and zigzag carving in a warm dark brown tone with golden undertones, and retains its original wire hanger. It is the kind of found object that brings instant history and soul to a wall.
