The Wren Press Bronze Engraved Wren Correspondence Cards
Last updated: 11 October 2026
These Wren Press correspondence cards are a box of ten cards, each engraved by hand with a small bronze wren. They come with matching envelopes lined in bronze tissue.
The Wren Press is a family stationer in Mayfair that holds Royal Warrants from the King and the Queen. The box costs £28. I checked the price and stock on wrenpress.co.uk on 11 October 2026.
What you get
| Cards | 10 correspondence cards |
|---|---|
| Size | 6 x 4.25 inches (15.2 x 10.8cm) |
| Board | Wren Polar Smooth Crisp White, 400gsm |
| Engraving | A wren, hand engraved in bronze |
| Envelopes | Matching, hand lined with bronze tissue |
| Box | A gift box carrying The Wren Press logo and Royal Warrant |
At 15 x 11cm, each card is a little bigger than a postcard. So there is room for a short thank-you note rather than a full letter. The board is also a heavy 400gsm.
How hand engraving differs from printing
Engraving is not the same as flat printing. The Wren Press etches the artwork onto a copper die and then finishes it by hand. As a result, the wren stands slightly raised, and you can feel it with a fingertip.
In the Wren Press account of its warrant, the company describes itself as "the only luxury stationer with its own in-house master engraver". Its engraver was the last full five-year apprentice in the trade, indentured to Stationers' Hall.
Who The Wren Press is
The Wren Press started in 1985 as a family business and has a shop at 1 Curzon Street in Mayfair. It holds the King's Royal Warrant, and it was recently granted the Queen's Warrant too.
Who Wren Press correspondence cards suit
They suit someone who still sends handwritten thank-you notes, or someone you would like to start. Because the cards carry only a wren and no message, they work for thanks, sympathy or a note in a present.
However, they are not Christmas cards. For festive cards, The Wren Press sells separate seasonal designs.
The limits
Ten cards at £28 is £2.80 a card before postage, which is a lot for a thank-you note.
Finally, The Wren Press does not list its delivery charge or a returns window on its policy pages. Check the delivery cost at checkout, or collect the order free from the Curzon Street shop.
