Isn't this wonderful?

A superb enamel Stratton 'Princess' loose powder compact made in the 1960s with a perfect copy of Francois Boucher's painting 'Interrupted Sleep'(1750). It was very hard to capture the real beauty of the compact because light was reflecting on the enamel. Image one is slightly out of focus but shows the vibrancy of the colours & the minutely detailed & complex scene. See images two & three for in focus shots! Francois Boucher was an artist of incomparable virtuosity & it is no accident that compact makers would choose his delightful pastoral & mythological works of art to adorn their vanities. This outstandingly beautiful compact shows a shepherd & shepherdess in exquisite garments. The shepherd wishes to wake the sleeping beauty & so he is tickling her lips with some straw. The scene is superb & highly complex. Even a little sheep dog in the far right hand corner watching over his mistress.

As if this wasn't enough the compact is an unused collector's piece with the original luxurious pouch, fabric puff & pretty pink velvet edged sifter. The mirror is perfect with a frosted glass border. The interior gilt & gleaming. The inner lid is signed 'Stratton'. The base is signed 'Stratton MADE IN ENGLAND'.

This most romantic of compact mirrors measures just over 7 cm & weighs 82.8 grams.
