Vintage Stratton Lancret Plaisirs Champêtres Copper Tone Powder Compact 8.5cm Rococo Mirror

A beautiful vintage Stratton powder compact measuring approximately 8.5cm in diameter, featuring a striking copper-tone lid decorated with the classic French Rococo scene Plaisirs Champêtres after the celebrated artist Nicolas Lancret.

The finely detailed pastoral design depicts an elegant countryside gathering with a birdcage and sleeping dog, beautifully reproduced in warm copper tones that enhance the intricate engraving-style artwork. The decorative scalloped edge and rich colouring make this an especially attractive example, perfect for collectors of Stratton compacts or lovers of French-inspired vintage vanity pieces.

The compact opens to reveal its original gilt interior and mirror, retaining its timeless elegance and charm. A wonderful display piece that also makes a thoughtful gift for any vintage compact enthusiast.

The compact remains in very good vintage condition with light age-related wear consistent with its years. The mirror has some light age-related spotting, and traces of the original powder remain. Please study the photographs carefully as they form part of the description.
