A mid-century vanity compact featuring a square gold-tone brass casing decorated with colourful birds perched on flowering blossom branches. The hinged lid opens to reveal a clear interior mirror alongside a textured square powder compartment.
Dating from circa 1950, this classic mid-century accessory was produced in England by Stratton and features a horizontally ribbed pattern on the reverse, with maker details stamped along the interior mirror hinge.
Dimensions when closed: 6 x 6cm
Condition: Good condition overall with a working catch, sound hinges, and a clear mirror reflection. The decorative bird motif on the lid shows light age-related surface crazing, with minor tarnish and edge wear to the brass casing.
This charming piece would suit vintage vanity collectors, retro dressing table displays, or theatrical period prop styling.
