I bought this to put some life into some antique furniture I recently acquired. I found the how-to videos very very helpful and decided to buy the product. It is entirely made from natural products and has a great aroma. I thought it was easy to use and the furniture came up well (phew!). The instruction booklet, the personalised card, and the seeds all made me feel welcome and part of company. The packaging was unobtrusive but completely sound. The re-useable container with a discounted price was a great idea and, along with the videos, certainly made me feel that these people were not flogging a collection of chemicals to buff up some old woodwork, but wanted me to succeed in invigorating tired furniture. Will I buy it again? Yes, of course.
I have used Gilboys Antique Gold on a number of Georgian pieces of furniture with great success.
Thank you Gilboys
I am completely blown away by the difference Gilboys Antique Gold has made to our furniture!
Excellent product! Excellent service and it came in a beautiful box with a surprise pressie inside! Fab fab experience. Will def buy again
Received my Antique Gold polishing kit which arrived promptly. Haven't tackled the dining table yet but looking forward to a nice polished table with no scratches. Watched the videos which are really informative and useful and no doubt I'll be watching them again before I get round to the table.
Many thanks in advance for a great product.

I bought this polish to restore the top of a Georgian chest of drawers which had been damaged by sellotape (two areas of polish had been lifted when the tape was removed). Simon gave me very helpful advice on how to apply the polish over the whole area and I watched the online videos but it is going to take a number of applications over a period of months to bring the surface back so no before and after photos yet!. It's not something that can be hurried but initial results are encouraging. I have given the chest two polishes so far, with 10 days between them and it is definitely a quality polish and much thicker and richer than anything I've used before. I'm hopeful it will do the job. I just have to be patient! Thank you Simon, Arrived beautifully packaged too along with wire wool and buffing cloth.
Excellent, thank you…especially for all the extras.
This was fab. You rarely get examples like this: generous advice from an expert, and quality product wrapped up in an unbelievably beautiful way! I bought the polish after Simon gave me free advice on a table I'm trying to protect. It's not cheap, but worth every penny. The polish is great, but what I particularly loved was the packaging: I could have been opening a box of designer jewellery! Hand-written card. Beautiful box. And the winning touch: a packet of seeds 'for me and the bees'. Wish there were more companies like Gilboy's around!
Excellent service, First application to part of an old family Tallboy, which has spent much of its life in storage, is most encouraging. Best wax that i have found to date.
Many thanks Simon for phoning me back last week in response to my photos of trying to remedy the finish to my longcase clock door. Your advice will now enable me to progress with the restoration. In particular I will leave each wax application a good few days to harden before reapplication, and will not bother to use ‘clock restorer’ cleaners.
I will send you a ‘finished’ photo!
