square matchbox by The Archivist Gallery, featuring a calm blue line illustration of a gentleman's head and neck. Restrained, classical, the kind of portrait that earns its place on the coffee table or beside the candle that needs a daily light.

From The Archivist Gallery, the London studio founded by Hayley Coghill—pulling from vintage illustration, natural history archives, and the great image traditions to make paper goods worth displaying. Designed by Lucy Brackin of Wanderlust Paper Co., with 125 natural matches in a square 110mm box. Litho printed in the UK on FSC-certified paper.

A handsome face. A steady flame.
