Vintage Stratton Powder Compact, Cream Floral Medallion, Round Gold-Tone Case, Sifter Included

A scattering of tiny flowers, gathered around a medallion like a garden seen through a gilded window.

This round Stratton compact pairs a cream-coloured lid with small multicoloured flowers and delicate gold-coloured scrolls. A central floral medallion sits within an ornamental outline, echoed by the surrounding pattern. Its polished gold-tone border frames the decoration, while the reverse carries a fine repeating texture.

Inside are a circular mirror, powder compartment, and hinged retaining ring. The Stratton name is visible near the hinge. A removable mesh sifter with a pink fabric border accompanies the compact; its originality to this example is unconfirmed.
