The Purdey Bicentenary Cabinet
Celebrating 200 years
Purdey, Mayfair London gunmakers to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, H.R.H. the Duke of Edinburgh, and owned by the Richemont Group, celebrated 200 years of English tradition, craftsmanship and excellence with an exceptional Trio of guns.
The Bicentenary Trio needed a cabinet that would reflect the depth of the history of Purdey and the unrivalled quality of its bespoke guns.
Eléonore introduced Purdey to Hatfields, a restoration workshop in the heart of London with a history and pedigree to match Purdey.
Founded in 1834, Hatfields were awarded a royal warrant from Queen Victoria. Today, they remain restoration specialists for historical and museum pieces across the world.
Under Eléonore’s supervision, Hatfields created a curved mahogany cabinet with toughened glass and bespoke LED lighting. The cabinet was a tribute to classic 19th century English furniture, as well as a celebration of technological advances in glass making.
