square matchbox by The Archivist Gallery, featuring a vintage-style mermaid illustration in the studio's signature painterly register—the kind of romantic maritime imagery that pulls from Victorian myth painting and the great tradition of sea-folklore illustration. Considered mythology, scaled to a small daily object.

From The Archivist Gallery, the London studio founded by Hayley Coghill—pulling from vintage botanical illustration, natural history archives, and the great image traditions to make paper goods worth displaying. Designed and produced in the UK.

The box holds 50 long matches with a side striker, sized for candle lighting, fireplace use, or any moment that benefits from a real flame. Beautiful unstruck, useful when needed.

Maritime myth, in matchbox.
