The Purdey Rose & Scroll is perhaps our most enduring symbol. Introduced in the 1870s, this botanical engraving has adorned nearly every gun we’ve made since. It’s elegant, complex, and distinctly ours — and like so many aspects of the brand, its roots lie in craft. The original design is widely attributed to James Lucas, one of Purdey’s longest-serving in-house engravers, who worked with us from 1855 to 1915. Under his skilled hands, the Rose & Scroll became more than decoration: it became a hallmark of quality, refinement, and Purdey’s unmistakable house style.
