C.F. Monroe Wave Crest Glass Dresser Box with Hand-Painted Floral Decoration

Description:
Charming antique Wave Crest dresser box by the C.F. Monroe Company, featuring creamy opal glass with delicate raised scrollwork and gilt floral decoration. The domed lid displays a hand-painted bouquet in soft hues of blue, gold, and russet, accented with fine enameled beading. The piece rests on ornate brass legs with a decorative band and original hinged closure, complete with its aged silk lining inside.

Measurements:

• Height: 3.5" 

• Diameter: approx. 3.25"

• Material: Opaline art glass with gilt metal fittings

• Maker’s mark: “Wave Crest, The C.F. Monroe Co., Trade Mark” on base

Condition:
Good antique condition with age-appropriate wear to the gilt decoration and expected patina to the metal mounts. The interior retains its original silk lining, now worn and frayed with age. Noticeable wear to the enameled flowers overall; the top decoration has almost completely faded with age. The hinge operates smoothly and the lid closes securely.
