Mrs White's Flawless Floors; an all natural, handmade preparation for nights, not days, on the tiles!

-




















Transform the most neglected terracotta, brick or timber floors – plus panelling, doors, banisters and beams – with this creamy concoction of real gum turpentine and British beeswax.

Your house will smell sensational, too!

Distilled from pine sap, turpentine is actually absorbed by timber, rather than being a ‘solvent’, as used in cheap mass-market polishes. Solvents serve no purpose other than to help the waxes spread over the surface - and then they simply evaporate away.

Thanks to our variable climate, British bee products are commonly more concentrated, powerful and fragrant than imported alternatives. They also have less impact on the environment in terms of the miles they travel to get to our 1950s polish-making boiler. We melt the wax slowly, so the full depth of the wax’s fragrance is preserved, and so the polish is creamy, light, and easy to use.

Mrs White's Flawless Floors 250 ml.

The Holy Trinity: Perfumes Made by Monks

The rarefied aura that surrounds fragrance dates back to the remotest times of antiquity, when incense and fragrant oils would be offered up to the gods and deities of the ancient world. The Arab world is credited with introducing modern perfumery to the West, having preserved the ancient arts of distillation, evaporation, and filtration that had been lost to Christian society, and in turn heralding great advancements not only in the field of fragrance but of chemistry and science too. In passing this tradition on, Christian monks began to adopt the practice of creating fragrances as an expression of faith, before eventually the art form became available to the wider public, for a price. Today, most perfume is manufactured on a grand commercial scale; a far cry from the artisanal monastic traditions that gave birth to modern fragrance! However, some perfume houses still survive from this bygone age and serve to remind us of our industry’s history while continui

Bâtard Folding Picnic Knife by Lamson & Goodnow

As author of The Best Bread Ever; Charles Van Over is expected to show everywhere up with an armful of bread. Whilst Charles enjoys breaking bread with friends; he does insist that the bread is properly sliced with a breadknife, not just ripped apart. The problem here is that bread knives are very long and with their serrated edges they are not the easiest of things to carry around. Charles wondered why a folding bread knife could not be produced and took his idea for a pocket bread knife to Lamson & Goodnow, American manufacturers of the LamsonSharp range. The Bâtard Folding Picnic knife is the result of this collaboration. At Roullier White we believe this may possibly be the best picnic knife ever made. The French word bâtard – and yes it does translate how you think it does – is a shorter and thicker type of baguette. The knife, of course, will cut everything including cheese, fruit, vegetables and as you cannot have a picnic without wine it also has an integral corkscrew. Rou
