The joyful Miracle Matches have met their dark side with the Archivist Black Miracle Square Matchbox – a fun and striking limited-edition design. Created in collaboration with artist Louise Lockhart of The Printed Peanut, this bold matchbox draws inspiration from vintage print ephemera and the traditional “heart in hand” icon, a symbol of charity, craft, and heartfelt giving.

Printed on a vintage windmill press with elegant gold detailing, this matchbox is as much a keepsake as it is practical. Containing 125 extra-long matches, it’s perfect for lighting candles, stoves, and fireplaces – while also making a fabulous and distinctive gift.

Brand

Archivist is run by husband and wife duo William and Sarah, but over the last 20 years we have slowly welcomed some other brave souls into the mix. With guest appearances by our daughter Madeleine, and the very brave Katie (the first employee not to be a member of the family) to the newest additions at our Letterpress printers. We all share the conviction that gift giving is a joy, and that the world is a bit brighter with a mix of beautiful things and a touch of William’s wit.

Archivist was founded in 1998, (blimey that means that we’ve been anxiously worrying about whether we’ll have a good idea tomorrow for a very long time!). As the name might suggest; the archives of the Natural History Museum is where we first began. Although the archives have changed the enthusiasm for hunting for images has not gone. Collaborating with artists all over the world, we have created the finest range of British Letterpress Cards, Prints and lest we forget our luxury matches.

Ink and Paper have always been central ingredients to the business and now that we are the proud owners of Britain’s largest dedicated Letterpress printing facility, we have the wherewithal to take our famous quality and innovation to even higher levels. You, our customers are fabulously sophisticated and are rightly demanding of not only quality but integrity in manufacture and we are with you on this exciting journey where ‘unfettered consumerism’ is replaced by ‘conscious giving’.

Whether you have met us at trade shows (and been blinded by William’s suits) or just got to know us through our products. We hope you have got some joy out of our collections, in this very mad world.
