In 1987 I was apprenticed at the age of 16 for 4 years in French Polishing and furniture finishing at the award winning Dartington Estate owned Staverton Joinery. After finishing my apprenticeship I went on to gain the highest qualifications in the art of traditional signwriting. Early in 1994, with the help of the 'Prince's Trust' I opened Gilboys Antique furniture restoration business . After decades of furniture restoration we started to develop and manufacture our own premium organic beeswax wood polish. We use the finest organic beeswax sourced direct from Buckfast Abbey's beekeepers along with the best natural ingredients from around the world. Winning the 2018 Rural Business of the Year award. We now ship daily our polishes and leather balsam around the world. And help our customers with any furniture polishing or restoration related questions.
