Original Stuart Houghton Sealing Waxes – A Legacy of British Craftsmanship
Step into the tradition of timeless correspondence with these original breakable sealing waxes from the historic Stuart Houghton company of the UK. Tracing their roots back to 1845 under founder George Tibbins in Birmingham, the company became renowned for its dedication to fine stationery, elegant seals, and richly pigmented waxes that held both function and form.
Originally crafted for use in formal correspondence and ceremonial documents, Stuart Houghton sealing waxes were prized for their crisp break and vibrant finish—hallmarks of Victorian-era quality. Over the years, the company refined its formulas and designs, becoming a favorite among letter writers, calligraphers, and gift givers alike.
Though the Stuart Houghton company has since dissolved, these remaining waxes are a rare find—true vintage stock from a bygone era. Perfect for collectors, historic reenactors, or anyone drawn to the romance of traditional letter sealing.
