Description from the seller
Stratton of London – Vintage Art Deco Floral Powder Compact – Gold-Tone Finish – Original Box & Pouch
An exceptionally elegant vintage Stratton of London powder compact, beautifully enhanced with a striking Art Deco-inspired floral composition, capturing the glamour, symmetry and sophistication of the 1920s and 1930s decorative arts movement.
The circular lid showcases a magnificent arrangement of delicate blush-pink blossoms, rich emerald-green foliage and sweeping geometric fan motifs, beautifully contrasted against ivory-white and deep black sections. Fine golden outlines accentuate every detail, creating an exquisite decorative composition reminiscent of the luxurious enamelled accessories and vanity pieces of the Art Deco era.
The intricate design features perfectly balanced floral arrangements surrounding a dramatic central geometric motif, combining feminine elegance with the bold architectural lines characteristic of Art Deco styling.
The beautifully detailed artwork has been applied at a later date to a genuine vintage Stratton compact, giving this classic British vanity accessory a distinctive decorative appearance while retaining its original vintage character.
Produced by the renowned British maker Stratton of London, the compact features a gold-tone metal case with the Stratton signature to the inner lid.
Opening the compact reveals a clear mirror and powder compartment, complete with its original Stratton powder puff and sifter. The original presentation pouch and box are also included, adding to its appeal as a collectible vanity accessory.
The hinge remains firm, and the snap clasp closes securely.
An attractive combination of vintage British craftsmanship and Art Deco-inspired artistry, this charming compact would make a beautiful addition to a collection of vintage vanity accessories, decorative powder compacts or Art Deco memorabilia.

Seller's Story
I am a UK-based private jewellery enthusiast with a strong interest in vintage, antique, and gemstone jewellery. I enjoy sourcing unique pieces that stand out for their craftsmanship, character, and natural gemstone beauty.
Many of the items I offer are carefully selected from auctions, collectors, and secondary markets, with a focus on individuality and quality. I am particularly drawn to unusual gemstones, statement rings, and jewellery with distinctive design or history.
Each piece is checked and photographed in detail before listing, and I aim to describe items as clearly and accurately as possible, including measurements, weights, and any visible hallmarks, so buyers can bid with confidence.
I believe jewellery should feel personal and special — whether it becomes part of a collection, a meaningful gift, or something to wear and enjoy every day.
Thank you for your interest in my pieces.
