PRODUCT

Archivist’s luxury matches come in printed boxes that are little works of art, making them a quirky yet practical gift. After all, striking a match is often the start of something really special: lighting a barbecue; starting a warm fire; or lighting your most treasured scented candle - it all starts with a match.

 

These are extra-long so are perfect for lighting fires and reaching into candles - and attractive enough not to have to hide, this box is beautifully printed with a nostalgic lighthouse motif.

 

Designed, printed and assembled in the UK,


Box measures 11 by 11cm. Contains approximately 125 matches and each match is around 10cm long.

  • Archivist was founded in 1998 and is run by husband and wife duo William and Sarah. Working with archives and collaborating with artists all over the world, they have created a range of letterpress printed cards using the finest inks and papers.

    Letterpress fell out of favour many years ago as litho printing became the norm. However, over the last ten years, letterpress has enjoyed a revival as designers and printers appreciate the infinite opportunities offered by this most traditional of printing techniques. Letterpress printing is a term used to describe printing using a press that inks the image then ‘stamps’ the paper. This is a process that has changed little since the Gutenberg bible was published circa 1455.
