The centrepiece looks like jewellery.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is one of Stratton's more dramatic compact designs: a circular compact in a deep aubergine-purple polished enamel, the colour rich and reflective, carrying a raised jewelled floral centrepiece mounted dead centre into the lid face. The centrepiece is gold-tone with a large faceted deep ruby-red stone in a round cut set into a scalloped petal mount, the petal points alternating with tiny seed pearl cabochons in their own individual gold settings. It reads as a brooch. It reads as something you'd find inside a jewellery box, not a vanity drawer. On the purple enamel ground, with the warm gold hardware framing it, it is extraordinary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe reverse carries Stratton's all-over raised star pattern: a dense repeating field of small raised star motifs covering the entire gold-tone surface, the Stratton Made in England cartouche embossed centrally into the star ground, legible and sharp. The single-barrel hinge is tight and flush. The inner rim edge carries a fine engraved catalogue inscription, confirming this as a documented model within the Stratton range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe interior is brand new. The full-width mirror in the lid is bright and unspotted. The base section holds the original Stratton branded powder puff: soft blush-pink with the Stratton script embossed directly into the puff fabric in the same tone, unused. The sifter beneath it is intact. The original Stratton slip is present.\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 cartouche to star-pattern reverse; catalogue number to inner rim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForm: Large circular powder compact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExterior: Deep aubergine-purple polished enamel with raised jewelled floral centrepiece; large faceted deep red stone in scalloped gold-tone mount with alternating seed pearl cabochons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReverse: All-over raised star pattern, gold-tone; Stratton Made in England cartouche centred\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterior: Full-width mirror (bright, no spotting); original Stratton branded blush-pink puff (Stratton script embossed to fabric, unused); sifter intact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded: Original Stratton branded powder puff, sifter, original slip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot included: Outer retail case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Brand new, unused.
