Unique and beautiful matchboxes filled with luxury matches made using sustainably sourced wood and free from any harmful toxins. Whether you are enjoying the cosy glow of a fire, creating a warm ambience with candles or seeking the perfect gift for any occasion, these gorgeous matchboxes are a fun and stylish addition to every home.
As you know, at Abrahams Store we’re all about colour and these boxes are packed with colour. They’re also filled with 125 of the famous ‘flaming redheads’ that you might find in a cryptic crossword. Approximately 4″ long they’re perfect for lighting fires. I became intereseted in phillumeny, collecting matchbox labels in the mid-1970s. Bryant & May issued a centenary box of Captain Webb Matches. I learend that Captain Matthew Webb was the first person to swim the English Channel in 1875 and that struck me. I then learned how to ask for matches in French, German snd Italian as family holidays dictated. My favourites are from Innsbruck and have images of the town on them, in gold, on pastel sades of satin.
If you need longer matches than the ones in these beautiful matchboxes, 11inches or 28cm we’ve got them too – follow this link
