The chess match matchbox
Did you know that the word "Checkmate" in chess traces its roots all the way back to the Persian phrase "Shah Mat," which roughly translates to "the King is dead"? It's a triumphant declaration of victory, a moment where tactics and cunning collide in a glorious finale! "Check Mate" is a glorious design inspired by the vintage charm of one of our favourite matchbox labels. Designed by the creative minds at Archivist.
The matchbox contains about 120 matches, each measuring 10 cm long. Box dimensions 11 x 11 x 5 cm. The Archivist matches are of high-quality & thoughtfully designed. These tinder sticks are joy to be held and use; one sturdy stick will light multiple candles or make a good hearty fire to the sauna. No fear of burning your fingers!
With the beautiful box the matches are a lovely gift to almost any occasion, from small tokens of love or appreciation to birthdays (pair them with some beautiful candles in the gift receiver's favourite colours!) to a courtesy gift when invited to a dinner party or a summer house stay. These matchboxes make a great substitute for wine bottles when you don't want to bring any alcohol and they're never useless clutter as they are consumables – but of the prettiest kind!
