A box of luxury letterpress matches from Archivist, featuring a festive design by British illustrator Charlotte Farmer — inspired by the classic Christmas carol The Twelve Days of Christmas.

A partridge perches in the branches of a stylised pear tree, illustrated in soft tones of orange and blue, with gold detailing that brings a soft, celebratory touch. Full of charm and seasonal nostalgia, it’s a playful, characterful take on a much-loved festive motif.

- 125 extra long matches with white tips
- Designed, printed and assembled in the UK
- Dimensions: 11 x 11 cm

Charlotte Farmer is a screen printer and illustrator based in Bath, UK. Known for her vibrant colours, lively linework and eye for detail, Charlotte’s work brings familiar scenes to life with warmth and wit.

Printed using a traditional letterpress machine, this square matchbox is both functional and decorative. Whether kept on a mantel, beside the fire, or placed on a festive table, it adds a joyful, handcrafted touch to your seasonal rituals.

ABOUT OUR LETTERPRESS MATCHES

Archivist was founded in 1994 and continues to this day as one of the finest letterpress studios. Letterpress printing is a traditional technique of applying ink to an image and then 'stamping' it onto paper or card. The process has changed little since the Gutenberg bible was published circa 1455.
