About Gilly's

Gilly's Australia is a family-owned and run business based in Perth, Western Australia, with a story that began in a home kitchen in 1983. Founder Gilly Stephenson, frustrated by the inability to find a quality beeswax polish in Australia for her beloved antique furniture, decided to make her own. Together with her husband Chris, Gilly produced the first commercially available batches of what would become Gilly Stephenson's Old Fashioned Furniture Polish.

What started as a homemade solution to a personal problem has grown into a range of 23 premium product lines, now available nationwide and overseas. Gilly's specialises in traditional and sustainable finishes for timber, using quality natural ingredients including beeswax to create polishes, oils, and waxes that clean, nourish, and protect timber furniture, floors, and surfaces.

Truly a small business success story, Gilly's Australia remains family-owned and committed to producing honest, effective timber care products the traditional way. Available at Double Bay Hardware, Gilly's products are the natural choice for anyone who values quality craftsmanship and sustainable timber care.

Packaged correctly

OK, its a globe. Switch it on, it lights up. Switch it off it goes dark.
The difference purchasing it from Double Bay Hardware makes is that the 2 I ordered were packaged as filament globes should be, lots of shock absorbing bubble wrap and clear labeling that the are fragile!

I couldn’t find a washing -up mop anywhere in my local town so I went online and Double Bay Hardware supplied three for me and had them packed and on the way the same day. I was most impressed. Many thanks.

Goldair 1200W radiant heater

This is an excellent heater. It’s practical, lightweight, easy to use and gives instant warmth as well as being affordable. The level of heat can be adjusted to one, two or all three bars. I highly recommended it. Fan from Double Bay Hardware was incredibly helpful and accomodating. Wonderful customer service. Cheers, Evelin.

Have only used 1, the other is spare as it is difficult to find these globes & the other one will probably blow any day now as they are connected to the same switch. Works as expected.
