Boston Safety Matches
Custom designed for Boston General Store by illustrator Peter Voth, this bespoke box of safety matches celebrates two defining moments in Boston history: the Boston Tea Party and Paul Revere's Midnight Ride.
The oversized matchsticks are ideal for lighting candles, incense, or a crackling fire, while the illustrated box is worthy of display long after the last match has been struck. Peter's intricate artwork is filled with tiny details, from tea chests bobbing in Boston Harbor to lantern-lit streets waiting for Revere's arrival. Take a closer look—you'll discover something new each time. Huzzah!
