Description
A rare 1948 Stratton loose powder compact with the most gorgeous silk lid. The lid decoration is painterly - rendered to look like an oil painting. Equestrian themed Stratton powder compacts are highly collectible. This delightful book piece is extremely scarce. The scene shows a gentlewoman and her beau. The couple are dressed in attire that was typical for the Georgian era. The lady's pink bonnet & splendid dress are minutely detailed. She is wearing pristine white gloves. Her right hand is resting almost half way down the horse's mane. She is offering food to the horse with her left hand. The gentle and well mannered temperament of the horse is captured perfectly and the whole scene is charming The gentleman is dressed in pale yellow breeches and a beautifully tailored deep red jacket. The wall of the stable building is the same colour as the breeches The stable door and window frames are green. Behind the lady are purple flowers that look like lilac. Behind and above the gentleman ivy frames the composition. The compact is in very good condition and it is one that has eluded us for many years. The interior is the typical shallow gilded powder well. The gilding is still vibrant. The pouch, puff and sifter are all in place and in good condition too. The mirror gives a very good and accurate reflection. The mirror bezel is signed 'Stratton Made In England'. All clasps and hinges work perfectly. The base has an engine turned design. This rare compact mirror measures 3' and weighs 64 grams.
