The Skaters Square Christmas Safety Matches

The Skaters Matchbox by Archivist Gallery captures the joy of winter in full, colourful swing. Featuring two skaters gliding across a frozen lake under falling snow, it’s pure retro magic — a celebration of cosy scarves, checked trousers, and that rosy-cheeked feeling that only cold weather brings. Cheerful, nostalgic, and utterly charming, it’s the perfect companion for lighting fires, candles, or a little seasonal cheer.

Each matchbox is printed in the UK using traditional letterpress techniques at Britain’s largest dedicated facility, where Archivist’s love of ink, paper, and craftsmanship runs deep. The vivid blues, greens, and yellows pop against the snow-speckled scene, making it as much a display piece as it is a practical one.

Made from sustainable materials and filled with long, blue-tipped matches, this design makes a wonderful stocking filler, host gift, or collectible keepsake. Whether it’s perched beside your fireplace or tucked into a gift box, The Skaters brings a little old-fashioned joy to the everyday — a spark of warmth in every sense.
