Add a dash of storybook charm to your mantel with this whimsical, 3D shopfront matchbox.

From a bustling high street to your home, this nostalgic matchbox from Archivist Gallery transforms functional utility into a sculptural work of art. Illustrated by artist Louise Lockhart, this individual matchbox is uniquely die-cut into a charming book shop. To reveal your matches, simply slide open the clever side-drawer built seamlessly into the side of the shop. Perfectly perched on a kitchen shelf, a bathroom ledge, or right next to your favorite candle, this decorative matchbox serves as a delightful conversation piece even when sitting unlit. When the matches are gone, the empty keepsake structure makes a beautiful container for storing small treasures.

Features of the Archivist Gallery Book Shop House Matches include:

  • Whimsical 3D Design: Die-cut into a miniature building shape with an integrated sliding drawer that pulls out from the gable end of the house.
  • Art by The Printed Peanut: Features the signature, paper-cut illustrations of Louise Lockhart.
  • Colorful Safety Matches: Contains 75 extra-long matchsticks featuring natural wood stems and vibrant, multi-colored tips.
  • Discreet Striking Strip: Features an abrasive striking strip hidden on the very bottom of the box to keep the shopfront artwork perfectly clean.
  • Sustainably Crafted: Matchbox is made from 100% recyclable, FSC Mix-certified paper and filled with matchsticks made from FSC-certified wood.
  • Dimensions: Approximately 4.5h x 3.9w x 2.8"d.
