Jewellery box - Wood - Tramp art

This is a beautiful example of "tramp art", a form of folk art in which hand-cut layers of wood are glued and nailed together in geometric pyramid- or stepped patterns. The inside of the box is lined with stitched fabric and features a small mirror in the lid and a pincushion. This dates from the late 19th century. The photos are part of the description. The last photo shows damage to the lower edge. The ravages of time.
