Folk Art carved chair signed, marked '05
18 May 2026
Description

This is a very old pine carved folk art chair. partially finished, with some wood damage, particularly on the joints. It has an interesting story. My son was a volunteer for many months in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. He was gutting houses in the lower 9th ward. He fished this piece out of a garbage pile while walking home from one of his work sights. An elderly neighborhood man told him that his neighbor stored a bunch of stuff from the "Tramps" club in his shed for many years. He thought that this probably was one of the things from that shed, which was destroyed in the flood. I thought it might be a valued piece of NOLA history.
