Archivist Matches Boxed Flying High
It is a great privilege to add this to the Archivist matchbox collection. Charlotte's "Ticked Off Tiger", in her words, made it into The Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition in 2022; a moment that reminded us just how lucky we are to work with such a talented artist. From the Summer Exhibition to our humble square matchbox, the colours and slightly angry tiger (but he's abig softy at heart) in a decorative snuff bottle is just stunning!
Archivist uses the traditional letterpress printing technique to create its range of cards and stationery. Founded in 1994 by Sarah and William Allardice, the brand aims to create timeless pieces that imbue a sense of fun, as well as being useful. Archivist’s luxury matches come in printed boxes that double as keepsakes themselves, making them an ideal gift, whilst the charming designs on their greeting cards offer universal appeal. Some of London’s finest museums back the brand; the V&A are a stockist and the Natural History Museum commissioned its own collection.
