Vintage Stratton Powder Compact Ice Skating Scene Compact Mirror England 7.5cm Winter Sports Collectible
A beautiful vintage Stratton powder compact featuring a charming ice skating scene, depicting an elegant couple gliding across the ice against a snowy winter landscape. The artwork captures the romance and glamour of a bygone era and makes this a particularly attractive example for collectors of vintage vanity accessories.
Made in England by Stratton, one of Britain’s most respected compact manufacturers, this compact retains its original mirror, sifter and Stratton puff. The interior is bright and clean with the classic Stratton engine-turned finish and maker’s mark clearly visible.
The skating design is wonderfully evocative of winter holidays and mid-century fashion, offering something a little different from the floral and abstract designs more commonly found on Stratton compacts. It displays beautifully whether added to a collection or displayed on a dressing table, vanity tray or in a vintage-inspired interior.
The compact measures approximately 7.5 cm (2.95 inches) in diameter.
There is visible wear to the exterior finish and age-related wear to the skating decoration, as shown in the photographs. The mirror is present and the original Stratton puff remains with the compact. Please study the photographs carefully as they form an important part of the description.
A lovely piece of vintage British vanity history and a charming gift for collectors of Stratton compacts, winter sports memorabilia or nostalgic mid-century accessories.
