Vintage Stratton Queen Convertible Powder Compact, Floral G. Breeze, 1970s
Description
Plucked from a secret drawer of English vanity history, this new Stratton Queen Convertible powder compact is a masterpiece of mid-century British design that solves the eternal problem of the powder compact with characteristic ingenuity.
The Queen Convertible's ingenious mechanism allows the inner tray to be removed and replaced, making it as practical as it is beautiful. This example features a floral design by artist G. Breeze, whose work for Stratton brought a painterly quality to objects that were already beautifully made. Its enameled finish and precise construction speak to an era when even the most everyday objects were made with extraordinary care.
A compact that sits at the intersection of design, craft, and art, and carries all three lightly. Part of the Vanity Table Treasures collection.
