Part practical object, part tiny artwork, they turn the everyday ritual of lighting candles into something with a little more ceremony… \u003cem\u003ea flicker of theatre for the mantelpiece\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis playful Mermaid design\u003c\/strong\u003e was created in collaboration with The Printed Peanut, the studio of illustrator Louise Lockhart, whose work joyfully borrows from vintage packaging, seaside nostalgia, and delightfully \u003cem\u003eodd curiosities\u003c\/em\u003e. Here, a flame-haired mermaid drifts through candy-coloured waters in a palette so cheerful it could brighten even the gloomiest rainy afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFilled with extra-long luxury matches and dressed in bold retro typography, this box is as decorative as it is useful. Leave it beside a stack of coffee table books, next to your favourite candle, or perched rather proudly on the mantel. Functional objects rarely get to have this much fun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"834\" data-end=\"1260\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"834\" data-end=\"859\"\u003eArchivist Gallery\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eFounded in 1994 by Sarah and William Allardice, Archivist Gallery began with a mission to revive exquisite images from the archives of the Natural History Museum.
