The timeless art of letter writing has added romance and quickened the pulses of lovers for centuries.  Long ago, betrothals were pre-arranged and the only true words of love were secretly written and an envelope’s contents was secured by a wax seal, so that the recipient could be assured that their passion was clandestine. A broken seal implied broken trust and no person of integrity would tamper with a wax emblem. 

Our mailable sealing wax sticks are traditionally made in Italy by a family owned and operated business. Founded in 1945 by a young German immigrant, Harold Mayer came to New York and began importing stationery products into the American market. Over the years, and through 3 generations, the ownership of the company still utilizes its 60-plus years of expertise, reputation and superior product selection to remain the most comprehensive and inventive company in the industry.  

After centuries, the wax sealing method is an enduring sophistication that keeps this lost art alive and your sentiments safe.
