Vintage Stratton Silver Plated Powder Compact with Original Box & Pouch – Engine Turned Finish – 1950s English Vanity Collectible
A beautiful vintage Stratton powder compact presented in its original Stratton of London gift box with the original protective pouch, making this a particularly desirable example for collectors.
Crafted in England, this elegant silver-plated powder compact features a finely engine-turned lid with an ornate engraved border, creating a timeless design that has remained stylish for decades. The interior retains its original mirror, signed Stratton powder well, original sifter and puff, and still carries the original “Silver Plated Lid & Base” label, suggesting it has seen very little use.
Stratton was one of Britain’s finest makers of ladies’ vanity accessories, renowned for producing beautifully engineered powder compacts throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Their quality construction and elegant styling have made them highly collectable today, particularly when accompanied by their original presentation box and accessories.
This compact would make a wonderful addition to a Stratton collection, an elegant display piece for a vintage dressing table, or a thoughtful gift for someone who appreciates classic British design and the glamour of a bygone era.
The compact remains in lovely vintage condition with only light signs of age and handling consistent with careful storage. The mirror is bright, the hinge and clasp work exactly as they should, and it is complete with its original Stratton pouch and presentation box.
Diameter: approximately 7.5 cm (2.95 inches).
A classic piece of British vanity history, ready to be enjoyed and admired for many years to come.
