Archivist's giant matches featuring the illustration of a black reindeer with ornate antlers. Designed by Tabby Booth.
What do you get the person who has everything? A giant matchbox, of course. Bold, brilliant, and a little bit ridiculous – in the best possible way. These beauties are packed with 150 extra-long matchsticks. Not exactly understated, they’re part practical fire-starter, part coffee table statement piece.
Founded in 1996 by William and Sarah Allardice, Archivist started in the Natural History Museum archives. Over time, this small family business grew into a passionate team, sharing a love for gift-giving and beautiful design.
Its mission to rejuvenate British letterpress printing began in 2010, when co-founder William spontaneously purchased a Heidelberg platen printing press. The joy and special quality of letterpress lies in its tactility, being able to both see and feel the impression made my the ink on the paper.
From the start, the founders have always been striving to find and curate stunning imagery, collaborating with artists worldwide to create the finest British Letterpress Cards, Prints, and luxury matches. Ink and paper have always been at the heart of what the brand does, and today, as owners of Britain’s largest dedicated Letterpress printing facility, it continue to push the boundaries of quality and innovation.
