Folktale Matchbox | Fox & Hare

A little spark of woodland folklore.

From the pages of an old folktale, a clever fox and a fleet-footed hare emerge among curling vines and woodland foliage. Illustrated in the style of an antique woodcut, these charming creatures adorn opposite sides of a beautifully nostalgic matchbox, evoking the timeless stories of enchanted forests, mischievous animals, and the mysteries of the natural world.

A delightful little treasure for lovers of folklore, woodland whimsy, and old-world charm. Perfect for keeping beside a favorite candle, tucking into a thoughtful gift, or displaying among a collection of curious and beautiful things.
