Matchstick Box - Tramp Art - Prison Art

MATCHSTICK JEWELRY BOX ... This jewelry box is an excellent example of Matchstick Art in its simplest form ... The artist has used the burnt end of the match to their advantage to create a visually graphic Zig Zag or Zipper pattern, a slight play with stain creates a three dimensional shaded effect, sides of box have nice bevelled edge ... Measurements: 16" length, 7 1/2" depth, 5 1/2" height ... The interior is fully lined with a dark brown velvet with removable top tray with secret lower storage ... With any example of Matchstick or Tramp Art you worked with what you had on hand, this artist had the worst hardware available to them, ugly hammered copper H and L kitchen hinges ... I had to remove the drawer pull from the front ... This is one of the few times when I would suggest replacing the hardware ... Older varnished finish, in excellent condition ... (Please review photos) ...
