Archivist Gallery Blue Tiger Long Matchbox
Two Tigers, One Matchbox: Exotic Elegance
We’ve long been enchanted by Archivist Gallery’s matchboxes—lavishly sized, beautifully crafted, and perfect for lighting an entire procession of candles in one elegant sweep.
This design, by the talented Ariane Butto, features two majestic tigers set in a lush, exotic scene—bold, playful, and utterly captivating. A little wild, a little magical, and entirely irresistible for your mantelpiece or as a gift for a fellow collector.
Archivist Gallery
Founded in 1994 by Sarah and William Allardice, Archivist Gallery began by reviving exquisite prints from the archives of the Natural History Museum. Over the years, they’ve collaborated with artists and archives worldwide, creating a treasure trove of prints, cards, and, of course, their iconic luxury matches.
Pro Tip: Their generous length makes these matches perfect for lighting deep, scented candles without singeing your fingertips.
And rest easy: Archivist matches are completely non-toxic, free from sulphur, zinc oxide, or any other nasties—just pure, stylish fire at your command.

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.
