LUXURY MATCHES
Description
by ARCHIVIST GALLERY
Matches! Matches! Matches! The Archivists' are crazily enthusiastic about the whole business. Striking a match is often the start of something really special; a barbecue, a warm fire, a birthday or lighting your favorite scented candle - the match is where it all begins! The designs are printed on beautiful textured board and printed using traditional letter press printers to give a wonderfully tactile & special finish. Many of the designs take inspiration from traditional match box covers which give them a wonderfully authentic, vintage look. They make the perfect gift for friends and family whatever time of the year! Whilst fun is at the heart of everything they do at Archivist they also take the protection of the planet seriously - all sticks are sourced from strictly controlled FSC certified woodlands whilst similarly all the packaging is compostable & eco friendly.
GOLDEN LION-Designed By Archivist
THE BEE-The Bee luxury matchbox is an Archivist classic, aerodynamically, the bumble bee shouldn't be able to fly, but the bumble bee doesn't know it so it goes on flying anyway.
THE BOAT RACE-The Boat Race luxury matches depicts a rather peculiar scene, and we can't help wondering what they're racing for... Perhaps a human dropped their lunch somewhere on the other side of the river.
MOUNT FUJI-This image was part of Katsushika Hokusai's series Thirty - Using a western perspective to represent both depth & volume. The artist's obsession with the Mount Fuji and natural scenes can be attributed to a popular folktale that suggests that the elixir of life could be found at the mountain's summit.

THE COCK-The Cock Luxury Matchbox is a best seller and Archivist favorite, featuring a stern Cockerill that did not come to play, but will certainly add some laughs to Fathers Day - or any day for that matter.
BOX SIZE IS A BIG 11 X 11 CM AND CONTAINS APPROX 125 LARGE MATCHES
