Antique R. Wallace and Sons Sterling Silver & Cut Crystal Hair Receiver – Art Nouveau Vanity Jar – Elegant Dresser Box
$245.00
A beautifully crafted antique sterling silver and cut crystal hair receiver by R. Wallace & Sons, featuring an elegant Art Nouveau–style lid with flowing scrollwork and a central opening.
Hair receivers were a staple of Victorian and early 20th-century dressing tables, used to collect hair from brushes for reuse in fashionable hairpieces—making this both a functional and historically fascinating piece.
The crystal body is deeply cut with brilliant detail, including a striking starburst base that reflects light beautifully. The sterling lid is finely decorated and clearly marked:
“R. Wallace & Sons – Sterling – 5000”
A refined and collectible antique—perfect for vanity display, jewelry storage, or as a unique gift.
