A stunning piece of vintage tramp art featuring an antique etching of a stoic Saluki. Tramp art took off in America around the 1850's and was something mostly made by artisans who had day jobs and not much extra income for supplies. Factory workers, farmers and other laborers would use humble and easily accessible materials like discarded wooden cigar boxes to build these layered objects of beauty and craftsmanship. Each tramp art piece was built through the labor intensive process of chip-carving and stacked notching with a methodical construction using small nails or glue. The end result is a usable piece of architectural art where you can easily see that it was built entirely with someone's hands.

How we'd style: hung on the wall in your living room or leaning on a shelf amongst a collection of other tramp art pieces, in a guest room where the decor theme is all about dogs, in a bedroom next to your dresser so you can admire it every morning and be inspired. 

In great vintage condition. Some areas of wear and discoloration from age and use (as shown in photos).

Measures approximately 12.5"L x 14.5"H x 2"D
