Vintage Stuart Houghton Breakable Wick Sealing Waxes - Limited Edition

Stuart Houghton Vintage Sealing Wax – A Classic from British Stationery History

This authentic sealing wax was produced before the year 2000 and is no longer in production, making it a rare treasure for collectors and traditionalists alike. Crafted in the classic breakable style with a cotton wick, it offers a true taste of historic letter writing.

Please note: due to its age, the wick may be less responsive to lighting. We recommend using it with a melting spoon or holding the stick directly over a flame as a wickless option.

• Size: 4" tall x 0.5" wide

• Composition: Traditional breakable wax with cotton wick

• Availability: Extremely limited vintage supply – once it's gone, it's gone

These original breakable sealing wax sticks, produced by the  Stuart Houghton company in the UK, carry with them a legacy of refined craftsmanship. Dating back to its origins in 1845, under George Tibbins, the company became a staple in the world of fine writing tools and traditional stationery.

Crafted with a traditional formula and a cotton wick, each stick burns cleanly and creates a sharply defined seal that snaps when broken—just as sealing wax was meant to behave. Ideal for documents, invitations, and ceremonial correspondence, these waxes reflect the standards of an earlier age when every detail mattered.
