Bookshop - House Matchboxes

Pick Up Only

Matches are on the Australia Post prohibited items list, which means we’re unable to send these through the post.

Maybe other shops are comfortable pushing that boundary, but I was taught not to play with fire.

Please don’t try your luck and select shipping at checkout. Any orders containing matches that need to be cancelled and refunded will incur a $5 restocking fee.

Thank you so much for understanding! ❤️

A tiny bookshop you can keep on the shelf. The Bookshop House Matchbox by Archivist Gallery features a charming green bookshop filled with colourful books, complete with a little dog waiting outside.

Part of Archivist’s nostalgic House Matches collection, this decorative house-shaped matchbox is both beautiful and practical. A gorgeous gift for book lovers, matchbox collectors and candle lovers, or a playful little addition to a bookshelf, mantel or kitchen shelf.
