Archivist Gallery Green Tiger Matchbox
Strike a Match, Spark a Story
We’ve been loyal admirers of Archivist Gallery’s matchboxes for years—grandly oversized, unapologetically beautiful, and perfect for lighting not just one candle but an entire constellation at once.
This particular design is by the talented Ariane Butto: a majestic tiger pirouettes through a lush, dreamlike botanical scene. A little wild, a little magical—exactly the kind of imagery that makes you want to keep the box long after the matches are gone.
Archivist Gallery
Founded in 1994 by Sarah and William Allardice, Archivist Gallery began by reviving historic prints from the Natural History Museum. Since then, their collaborations with artists and archives worldwide have turned everyday objects—cards, prints, and of course their now-iconic luxury matches—into collectible little treasures.
And because beauty should never come at a toxic price, Archivist Gallery matches are refreshingly clean: free from sulphur, zinc oxide, and other nasties.
Just pure, stylish fire at your fingertips.

General condition
Please keep in mind that in many cases we sell vintage and antique pieces. None of these pieces should be considered new or in perfect condition.
All of our vintage products show the rich beauty and history of their life with the knocks and bumps of many years of use. We restore our pieces so they will be clean and in a good working condition. However we try to minimise restoration to keep every piece as original as possible.
Photography
The physical object can differ slightly in colour from the object as presented online. We have made every effort to display colours accurately, but cannot guarantee that the pictures accurately reflect the colour of those goods in real life.
