- "I’m not just saying it, but your waxes are superb" - Drew Pritchard (Salvage Hunters)
Simply the best beeswax wood polish for dark and antique woods such as antique oak, mahogany, walnut, elm or similar dark coloured woods.
- BRINGS OLD FURNITURE BACK TO LIFE
- PRESERVES THE FINISH OF ANTIQUE WOOD
- REVIVES AND PROTECTS ALL TYPES OF WOOD FINISHES
Our Beeswax polish provides excellent coverage on a variety of wood finishes because pure turpentine holds far more wax in suspesion than petrochemical solvents:
| Size | Coverage Area |
|---|---|
| 1L | 100m² approx. (40-48 standard size dining tables)* |
*Coverage may vary depending on the condition of the finish.
**Not suitable for use on floors - the wax content is so high that the slip resistance would not be sufficient.
Natural waxes:
- Triple-filtered beeswax, humanely harvested from local hives
- Carnauba, Myrica, Japan and Berry waxes
Pure Pine Gum Spirits of Turpentine
No Petrochemical Solvent, No Silicone
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 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.
- Our workshop roof is completely covered in solar panels and generates far more electricity than we consume
- For best results use the included ultra-soft 0000-grade oil-free wire wool to apply the polish
- With gentle pressure spread the polish evenly over the surface in the direction of the grain, being careful not to over apply and avoid any upholstered areas. Once applied the surface area should look matt in appearance
- Allow the pure pine turpentine to completely evaporate and the wax to harden (15-20 minutes in temperate climates)
- Use the included open-weave pure cotton buffing cloth to buff the wax with ease and without leaving streaks. An open-weave cloth reduces the heat from friction that would melt the top layer of wax and cause smearing.
Weekly furniture maintenance of removing dust can be done by simply using a slightly damp cloth and drying if needed with a clean dry cloth - beeswax polish will protect the surface for a very long time.
If you have a larger surface like the side of a chest of drawers or the top of a dining table apply the beeswax more evenly by dabbing the surface all over with small amounts of polish, then wipe in the direction of the grain to spread the wax evenly.
SECRET TRADE TIP:
For carved relief areas such as an antique coffer, you can also apply beeswax furniture polish with a cheap 1 inch trimmed paint brush. It makes applying the beeswax much easier and allows the polish to get right into those dusty and hard to reach areas. Buff it when completely dry with a soft shoe brush and buffing cloth.
*Coverage may vary depending on the condition of the finish.
**Not suitable for use on floors - the wax content is so high that the slip resistance would not be sufficient.

I’d bought and used this polish before and it was good - but using it with 0000 steel wool makes a HUGE difference and having that included in the kit was good confirmation that this is the way to go,
The product is transformative in combination with the wire wool. Brilliant depth of shine/colour. Previously very average Georgian pieces now look great.
Thank you!

I order this wax for the restoration of a more-than-hundred years old cabinet from one of the oldest pharmacies in Lisbon. I wanted to preserve the original finish and polish it with beeswax . The result was beyond my expectations (everything, the beeswax, the cotton cloth) and now I'm hooked: I want it for all my projects! The package is carefully done, arrived quickly and as a plus, just saw in the ingredients list that this extreme quality beeswax is made with Portuguese Pure Pine Gum Spirits of Turpentine :)
Thank you

I was unsure about the dark colour of the antique gold wax…..but I had the perfect item to try it on recently.
It brought up my recent purchase of an art deco burr walnut desk box, which needed a little tlc, beautifully.
I’m starting on the cocktail cabinet now 😉

Brilliant and helpful owner. Just rewaxed my C17th coffer today after cutting back the old wax and what an amazing polish. It is an absolute joy to use and it leaves a finish like glass. Can very highly recommend this company and its products. Watch the instructional videos on YouTube too!

I had superb advice from Simon Gilboy re renovating my late mother’s bureau. He gave me the confidence to get stuck in and not to worry. The result is just amazing - it looks like a nice antique piece of furniture now. Loved the wax and the little repair cubes were excellent at filling wood worn holes. I recommend Gilboy’s products and will be returning there myself when I run out.
What’s next! ….. old oak doors… stair spindles …..
