American Tramp Art Chest w/ Mirror

[ translate ]

An American folk art miniature chest of drawers featuring an integral mirror, constructed using traditional tramp art techniques. The piece is built with multiple layers of notch-carved wood, likely repurposed from cigar boxes. The tiered architecture consists of a base tier with two full-width drawers, a middle tier with two side-by-side drawers, and a top tier with a single central drawer positioned below a rectangular mirror. Each drawer is fitted with white ceramic knobs. The mirror is framed by heavily carved pilasters and topped with a decorative crest. A shield-shaped element at the top center features a painted gold-tone intertwined monogram consisting of the letters M and N. Construction details visible on the interior side of one drawer include a purple stamped mark reading ADO CLARO. The monogram and stamped text do not form a legible maker name. The back of the piece is constructed from plain wooden panels secured with nails. Measured at the tallest point: 18.5 inches Measured at the widest point of the base: 10.75 inches.
