Our Gaurd's matchboxes are presented in original "England's Glory" vintage matchboxs with an original water colour painting inlaid into the  box, by artist Sophy Smith.  Each piece blends history, artistry, and playful creativity into truly unique work. Embrace the fine art of miniature storytelling as a unique gift or desired collectible.

 

Inspired by the inventive spirit of Hamburgs, Hennig Brandt’s 1669 alchemical experiments (attempting to transform base metals into gold) and the1855 Swedish invention of the safety matchbox by Gustaf Eric Pasch, our British Arm Guards Matchboxes capture the magic of discovery and nostalgia.
