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.
