Signed Pops Casey Tramp Art Cigar Box — Golden Finish

Rich golden color, intricate carving, and beautifully illustrated cigar-label artwork give this signed Pops Casey box exceptional character.

Layers of carefully notched wood frame the colorful label on the lid, creating a sculptural border of repeating peaks and scalloped details. The hinged lid opens to reveal a warm wood interior and another decorative cigar label—a lovely detail that makes the box just as appealing displayed open.

Created by Chicago folk and outsider artist Casey Lewandowski, known as Pops Casey, this piece brings together traditional tramp art techniques and the graphic charm of cigar-box imagery. A distinctive place for keepsakes or a beautiful addition to a collected tabletop.
