Description
Swallow luxury long matches are as stylish as they are useful. If you’ve got candles on the dining table, on the sideboard, the mantelpiece, even in wall sconces – these extra-long matches will help you light all of them with ease at no risk to your fingers.
The matchbox features a print of swallows on a wire against a soft yellow background. Stand the matchbox on a windowsill, mantelpiece or shelf to display the artwork. The matches are approximately 29cm long, letting you reach down into large candle holders or even up to old-fashioned chandeliers.
Please note: colours of the matches may vary from the image.
The matchboxes are designed and printed in the UK by Archivist. They use traditional letterpress printing – a technique that’s remained almost unchanged since Johannes Gutenberg first invented the printing press in the mid-15th century. An inked stamp or engraving is pressed onto a sheet of paper to reveal the design. The force with which the paper and stamp meet can leave indentations in the paper, giving letterpress prints a unique texture.
Litho printing is another technique Archivist use. This involves the image being placed on a plate which is then covered in ink and used for printing.
