Light a welcoming spark with this cozy village matchbox! Adorned with a miniature illustration of a row of classic brownstones on the outer lid, this tiny matchbox adds the perfect touch of a little corner of the big city. These sweet matchboxes are a beautiful touch for wedding favor tables, guest place settings, table centerpieces, bridesmaid or groomsman proposal boxes, cigar bars, or cocktail bar conversation. Makes a wonderful favor or heartfelt gift from any traveler, globetrotter, explorer, voyager, designer, architect, builder, or those who simply love old city architecture. This drawing is part of a cityscapes series inspired by places I have visited or lived in. This illustration is inspired by the brownstones of Brooklyn, New York City but it also resembles the rowhouses found in Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Europe, and more.
Matchbox size is 2 3/16" x 1 3/8" x 3/8" and contains about (16) 2" long white-tipped safety matches. A standard striker strip is located on the right hand side. As always, well-designed and well-crafted. Note: International orders are shipped without matches in the boxes. All US orders containing matches are shipped by ground.
Studio Portmanteau is happily based out of a small studio space in Oregon's gorgeous Rogue Valley. A passion for the simple things in life - stargazing, beachcombing, gardening, cooking, the great outdoors - plus a fascination with tiny things and an obsession with all things golden led to the idea behind this design studio specializing in matchboxes, and more recently delving into a broader range of thoughtful objects for the home and special occasions. Each product sold in the shop is a one-of-a-kind creation designed and made by our team in the Pacific Northwest. Most of our items are hand-pressed with metal dies on a vintage foil stamper that is the mainstay of the studio. Thanks for striking a spark with our handmade goods!
