A mid-century vanity compact featuring an engine-turned gold-tone brass casing with alternating crosshatched and polished stripe detailing. The hinged lid opens to reveal a clear interior mirror alongside a loose powder compartment with a inner hinged door, sifter mesh, and vintage puff.
Dating from circa 1950, this classic mid-century accessory was produced in England by Stratton and bears their signature compact-and-hand logo stamped on the inner door. The interior bezel is stamped with maker details around the mirror frame.
Dimensions when closed: 7.5cm
Condition: Good condition overall with sound hinges, a firm catch mechanism, and a clean interior mirror. The exterior brass casing shows light surface scuffs, rubbing, and characterful vintage tarnish consistent with age.
This charming piece would suit vintage vanity collectors, retro dressing table displays, or theatrical period prop styling.
