The brush. The Canette.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Stratton Canette is one of the named compact forms that collectors look for specifically: a rectangular compact built around Stratton's signature mechanical sifter system, distinguished by the small heart-shaped gold-tone release tab set into the base section that lifts the sifter to access the powder well beneath. It is a small detail and a completely characteristic one. If you know Stratton, you know the heart tab. If you find one, you know what you have.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis one is dressed in one of the more dramatic colourways Stratton used for the Canette: a black enamel top face carrying bold Art Deco sweeping lines in white and gold, broad curves moving across the black ground like the arc of a fan or the sweep of a wave. The border, sides, and interior lining are in deep burgundy-oxblood enamel, the gold-tone hardware sitting between the black and the burgundy. The Stratton script signature is embossed into the gold-tone crosshatch engine-turning on the reverse, centred and legible. The interior carries the burgundy-and-gold Stratton S cartouche tab at the hinge end and the full-width mirror in the lid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original pale-bristle brush is present and appears unused. The original powder puff is in the base section, terracotta-salmon in tone, worn at the edges with age. The sifter mesh is intact beneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Particulars:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaker: Stratton, Made in England; script signature embossed to engine-turned gold-tone reverse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForm: Stratton Canette, rectangular powder compact with heart-shaped gold sifter release tab\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExterior: Black enamel top face with Art Deco sweeping white and gold line design; deep burgundy-oxblood enamel sides and border; gold-tone clasp and hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterior: Burgundy enamel lining, full-width mirror to lid, Stratton S cartouche tab to hinge end, heart sifter release tab to base, mesh sifter intact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded: Original pale-bristle brush (appears unused), original powder puff (worn at edges)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot included: Outer retail case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Age wear to clasp and gold-tone rim band.
