Painted Chip Carved Antique Tramp Art Double Frame old steel object just enough space to putThis early 20th century tramp art frame is as much a sculptural object as a functional one, and with a reverse side as good as the front! I really like the combination of strong straight lines on the black painted structure with the unpainted zig zag chip carved decoration inside and in between; sharp and folky at once. Quite beautifully and concisely constructed, with nice old nails at each point where the black painted pieces meet. 12 7 8" l x 10" t
