Description :

An early 1900s Wave Crest repousse milk glass dresser box featuring the classic opaline body with raised scroll and floral relief work. The surface is adorned with delicate hand‑painted floral motifs in soft pastel tones, accented with subtle gilt highlights. The hinged lid is fitted with an ornate gilt metal band and clasp, typical of C.F. Monroe’s refined decorative hardware.

This piece embodies the romantic, feminine aesthetic associated with Wave Crest vanity ware—lush repousse detailing, gentle color palette, and elegant hand‑applied decoration. A beautiful example of turn‑of‑the‑century American art glass, ideal for collectors of antique dresser boxes or Victorian/Edwardian vanity accessories.


Dimensions : 4 in W x 4.5 in H
