Rare Antique Equestrian Stratton Powder Compact 1948 12th Wedding Anniversary Gift
An exceptionally rare equestrian themed Stratton Scone without Inner Lid. The lid is silk rendered to look like an oil painting. This gorgeous vanity does not have any loss of design or fading. Absolutely splendid! This is an ideal gift for a collector or as a 12th (silk) wedding anniversary gift, when only something unique will do. This remarkable compact mirror shows a couple riding splendid horses accompanied by fox hounds. The lid is like a little work of art. The scene is minutely executed even mud thrown up by the horses hoofs is shown.
The most exciting rare mid-century vanity!
The compact is so appealing, especially as it comes with the original box, pouch, sifter and puff. The pouch has done a good job of protecting this very special antique vanity.
We have all seen the Stratton 'Scone' model which is fitted with an inner lid. However, this is another model of 'Scone' entirely, which was made without an inner lid. This model is rare and only documented in 1948. The 1948 'Scone without Inner Lid' model sometimes had lids made from silk.
Lift the lid & you will see an excellent mirror which gives a clear and accurate reflection. The mirror bezel is signed STRATTON MADE IN ENGLAND. The base is decorated with a fine spiral. Measures 3 inches diameter and weighs 65 grams.
