Lovingly sourced, our sealing wax is blended by hand using natural pigments. Packaged with care using 100% recyclable packaging, we have a commitment to quality and sustainability.



Bank of England wax is designed to create a sealed closure that will crack and crumble when opened. Traditionally used by royalty, this wax creates beautifully crisp and detailed impressions.
These wax sticks cannot be used in a glue gun and they are NOT flexible. They are a BREAKABLE wax. They will crack when opened and are extremely delicate. They are NOT suitable for mailing.
Sold in sets of 3 sticks (navy only has 2 sticks) MOST sets will include broken sticks hence the reduction in price. Returns will not be accepted for broken sticks as they are otherwise in perfection condition and need to be broken in order to use. Sets are as seen in photos. Please view carefully before purchasing. These are an end of line product.
The wax sticks are expertly hand-crafted by Waterston's Sealing Wax. The colours are mixed by hand in small batches, cast in moulds and then polished to perfection. They have been using the same recipe for almost 300 years.
Traditional Bank of England is extremely high quality wax with a much higher gloss finish to our regular wax sticks.
As this wax is made by hand, please note that there may be very slight shade variations between batches.

★★★★★AnonymousThe quality of this wax has made me realise most of the wax I've been using previously were just coloured glue sticks. I also am I love with that dark green colour.
