Antique Large Cut Crystal & Silverplate Hinged Vanity or Dresser Box

About the Item

This is a late 19th to early 20th-century cut crystal and silver-plated vanity or dresser box, characterized by an intricately faceted body and lid. The crystal is expertly cut in a geometric pattern featuring hobstars, fans, and diamond motifs, demonstrating the precision and elegance associated with American Brilliant Period glassware. The hinged lid opens to reveal a clear interior, while the silver-plated mount, adorned with a simple yet refined border, adds a touch of sophistication to the piece. The lid’s secure clasp suggests the box was intended for storing valuable items, such as jewelry or cosmetics. The combination of high-quality crystal and silver plate implies a maker of some repute, possibly one of the renowned American or European workshops known for luxury goods during that period. The intricate cutting patterns and clarity of the glass indicate skilled craftsmanship, suggesting the influence of prominent glass manufacturers like Hawkes, Libbey, or possibly an English counterpart such as Thomas Webb. Measures: 7.5" w x 4.25" h.
