BRINGS OLD FURNITURE BACK TO LIFE - PRESERVES THE FINISH OF ANTIQUE WOOD - REVIVES AND PROTECTS




  • 100% Pure ingredients
    • Triple filtered beeswax humanely harvested from local hives
    • All natural waxes: Carnauba, Myrica, Japan and Berry 
    • Blended in the traditional way with pure pine gum spirits of turpentine
    • Absolutely no silicone, no toluene, no white/mineral spirits
  • Very easy to apply and buff - a little polish goes a very long way because pure turpentine holds more wax in suspension by volume than petrochemical solvents
  • Our specially developed blend of waxes ensures that you don't necessarily have to polish again for at least a year and possibly up to 3 years
  • Clip-top Le ParfaitTM jar with air-tight seal

  • 20% Discount on refills with our Return & Refill scheme
  • Complimentary sunflower seeds for you to plant and grow as a 'Thank You' to the bees. 

Polishing Kits

Our polishing kits include everything you need to restore, polish and protect the finish of your wood furniture:

  • Gilboys 'antique gold' beeswax furniture polish
  • 1.2 metres of our antique restorers' recommended oil-free '0000' grade ultra-soft wire wool for easier application
  • 2 large lengths of our antique restorers' recommended open-weave 100% cotton polishing cloth for streak-free buffing
  • A colour-matched 'Gilded bee' pure Dartmoor beeswax scratch repair cube for repairing scratches and dents before polishing

Coverage

  • A single 125ml jar will cover approximately 12m² or five to six standard size dining tables
  • 1L will cover approximately 96-100m² or 40 to 48 standard size dining tables

IMPROVED UV PROTECTION

Our commitment to preserving the natural beauty of your wooden furniture has led us to improve our beeswax polish formula by incorporating a UV absorber. This addition has been scientifically proven to significantly lessen the harmful effects of UV radiation from direct sunlight on wooden surfaces.

By integrating a UV absorber into our trusted beeswax polish formula, we provide additional protection that absorbs even more of the harmful UV rays before they can damage the wood or its finish. This advanced protection is especially crucial for pieces exposed to direct sunlight, helping to greatly reduce discolouration and extend the life of your furniture.

While it does not block all UV rays entirely, it acts as a crucial additional barrier, extending the life of your furniture and keeping its colour and finish vibrant.

Environmental Responsibility

Environmental preservation is very important to us and we make every effort to ensure our products have a minimal impact on the environment:

  • We are not driven by a corporate cost-reduction ethos. We select our components based on quality and sustainability rather than the cheapest alternatives
  • 100% Plastic-free recyclable packaging
    • Recycled cardboard and paper from FSC-approved mixed sources
    • Packing tape that is paper & cotton based with a water-based gum adhesive which can be recycled along with the cardboard boxes
    • No polypropylene-based tape. We use biodegradable raffia twine.
  • No petrochemical solvents, we use only pure pine gum spirits of turpentine
  • Reusable Le Parfait jars with a Return & Refill discount scheme
  • Our workshop roof is completely covered in solar panels and generates far more electricity than we consume

    Worked wonderfully!

    I followed the video posted to YouTube and had wonderful results restoring a camphor trunk with this kit and some oil based stain.

    Great product!

    Pleasantly surprised

    After using various wax products with mediocre results I had come to view wax as an 'optional extra' , secondary to the main finish.
    With this wax, it can be used as a stand alone finish, simply on top of wood stain, to give first class results.

    Second Purchase! Excellent!

    I had purchased Rose Gold previously which I was happy with but needed the antique Gold for another project. Excellent product and local to me. Highly recommended.

    A wonderful little kit

    I did initially hesitate because of the price, but having completed the project and seen the results, I'm a convert. I have other little projects I've had in mind, and I'll definitely be using `Gilboys again. My next project will require oxalic acid, and I never really felt confident enough to attempt it. But I'm ready now!

    Thank you, Gilboys, not only for the excellent products, but also for the videos that make it so easy to follow along.

    Old farmhouse chairs

    Have just cheered up our old, Windsor, elm seat, kitchen chairs. Fabulous results. The online videos are useful as well.
