S. Kirk & Son Floral Sterling Matchbox Cover

A piece of the bygone era, a time of decadence and simplicity. 

Like many of the sterling offerings from Atelier Vespoint, this piece is a relic from a period when smoking was commonplace and matches still the norm.

If you were a smoker, or at least a frequent user of matches, you likely would’ve become tired with the struggles of crushed match boxes, or at the very least tired of looking at the drab labels. 

Companies like S. Kirk and Son found a solution to this. By striking sterling silver designs into the average matchbox dimensions of the time, they added a level of luxury to matches that hadn’t been seen since the vesta-case days of the late 1800’s early 1900’s.

In the Kirk Repousse pattern and accompanied by an era appropriate box of La Petit matches, it is ready to be adored or used by any Kirk and Son or matchbox fan.
