A little piece of the Great Barrier Reef, sitting beside your candle.
Created by Archivist in collaboration with the Natural History Museum , this beautiful Coral Reef Luxury Matchbox brings together natural history, extraordinary illustration and 125 very useful matches.
The design features historic coral studies from The Great Barrier Reef of Australia by pioneering marine biologist William Saville-Kent , whose remarkable 19th-century illustrations captured the extraordinary colour, form and diversity of life beneath the sea.
It's intricate, colourful and fascinating to look at — exactly the sort of everyday object that deserves a place on the coffee table rather than in the drawer.
Inside are 125 extra-long safety matches , each measuring 10cm, perfect for reaching into deeper candle vessels as well as lighting lanterns and fireplaces.
A particularly lovely gift for nature lovers, ocean obsessives and anyone who appreciates beautiful botanical and natural history illustration .
