Hand-Painted Folk Art Box — Globetrotter Collection
This hand-painted wooden box comes from the former Globetrotter space in Point Pleasant, New Jersey — a locally loved travel-inspired art installation known for celebrating culture, curiosity, and beautifully found objects from around the world.
Featuring a boldly painted fish motif, the box reflects traditional folk-art styling, with expressive brushwork and a warmth that only comes from being made by hand. The finish shows gentle signs of age and travel: softened edges, subtle wear, and a natural patina that adds depth and character rather than imperfection.
The interior has been carefully cleaned and refreshed, making the piece ready for display as a decorative object, keepsake box, or conversation starter. Whether placed on a shelf, coffee table, or styled among coastal or eclectic décor, it carries a quiet sense of story and intention.
More than storage, this box is a small artifact — rescued from a space that valued movement, memory, and the beauty of objects collected along the way.
