Intro

Add a bright detail to your Shabbat table with this hand painted match box holder, its lid decorated with two ripe pomegranates against a deep blue field. The pomegranate motif carries its traditional meaning of blessing and abundance, fitting for the candles it accompanies. Designed by Jerusalem artist Yair Emanuel, whose work has furnished Jewish homes for over two decades.

Build and Use

Made of hand painted wood, the holder is finished by skilled artisans in layered color. It measures about 2 inches by 2 inches by 1 inch and holds a standard small matchbox, released with a sliding brass strip along the base. Its compact size keeps it close at hand beside the Shabbat candlesticks.

Gift Ideas

Small and finely finished, this match box holder makes an easy housewarming gift or an addition to a wedding registry. It also suits a bar or bat mitzvah gift or a small anniversary token for someone who lights candles each week. Its size makes it a natural pairing alongside a set of candlesticks as a bundled gift.

Care Instructions

Wipe the wood exterior with a soft, dry cloth to keep the paint bright. Keep it away from water and direct sun, which can dull the hand painted finish over time.
