Antiquax Natural Beeswax is a traditional clear furniture wax made using refined natural beeswax, linseed oils and genuine turpentine. It is designed to clean, revive and protect suitable wooden furniture while enriching the natural colour and patina of the timber.

The clear formulation is particularly suited to antique furniture and traditional furniture restoration, as it helps enhance the existing character of the wood rather than adding a strong colour.

Antiquax Natural Beeswax can also be used on modern furniture and other suitable wooden surfaces that have already been sealed with varnish, oil or sanding sealer.

Applied with a soft, lint-free cloth and buffed once dry, the wax produces a deep, rich sheen while helping maintain the appearance of the wood.

How to use Antiquax Natural Beeswax

For the best results, the wooden surface should be clean and dry before applying Antiquax Natural Beeswax.

  1. Make sure the surface is clean and dry.
  2. For best results, clean the surface first with a suitable polish reviver.
  3. Apply a small amount of Antiquax Natural Beeswax to a soft, lint-free cloth.
  4. Work the wax into the surface in small areas, following the grain of the wood.
  5. Continue working evenly over the whole surface to produce a consistent finish.
  6. Allow the wax to dry.
  7. Buff the surface with a clean lint-free cotton cloth to achieve the desired sheen.
  8. One coat is normally sufficient, although a second coat can be applied if a higher sheen is required.

Apply the wax sparingly. Working in small areas makes it easier to achieve an even finish and avoid a blotchy appearance.

What wood can it be used on?

Antiquax Natural Beeswax is suitable for a range of previously sealed wooden furniture, including antique and modern pieces.

It can be used on furniture such as:

  • Tables
  • Chairs
  • Wardrobes
  • Dressers
  • Sideboards
  • Cabinets
  • Other suitable interior wooden furniture

It is particularly useful for maintaining antique furniture and enhancing the existing colour and patina of traditional timber.

The timber should ideally have already been sealed with a varnish, oil or sanding sealer. This helps prevent an uneven or blotchy appearance when the wax is applied.

Getting the best finish

The condition of the timber underneath the wax has a significant effect on the final appearance. For antique furniture, it is often worthwhile cleaning away old dirt and grime before applying a fresh coat of wax.

For best results:

  • Make sure the surface is clean and completely dry.
  • Use a soft, lint-free cloth for application.
  • Apply the wax sparingly.
  • Work with the grain of the wood.
  • Blend the wax evenly across the whole surface.
  • Allow the wax to dry before buffing.
  • Use a clean cotton cloth for the final buff.

A second coat can be applied if you want to build a higher level of sheen.
