Vintage Stratton mother of pearl powder compact

Price £45.00

Travel back to the days of ladylike elegance with this curiously collectable scallop-edged mother of pearl Stratton powder compact that probably dates from the 1940s. Outer case and mother of pearl lid are in excellent condition, but the mirror is a little spotted. Original inner mesh included. Measures 8 cm across.

I get all nostalgic when I see things like this, as I’m reminded of old aunts and my curiosity to see the amazing contents of their handbags. Powder compacts are such feminine accessories and this is one of the prettiest I’ve seen.
