Medieval Wooden Wax Tablet with Brass Stylus

Medieval Wooden Wax Tablet with Brass Stylus

Jot down your thoughts in the medieval style with this beautiful, handcrafted wooden wax tablet, complete with an ornate brass stylus. Measuring approximately 10 x 17 cm, this piece captures the practical elegance of writing instruments used in antiquity and the Middle Ages, when parchment was expensive and wax tablets offered a reusable surface for daily notes, accounts, or calculations.

The hinged wooden case opens to reveal two smooth panels of black wax ready to accept stylus impressions. Notes can be erased by gently heating and smoothing the wax, making this writing method truly sustainable and historically accurate. The brass stylus has a delicately patterned handle to improve grip and give an authentic period feel.

IDEAL FOR:

Historical education and demonstrations

Museums and collections

Depiction of medieval merchants, scribes and scholars

Unique and functional desk accessories

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

Keep the tablet in a cool, dry place to prevent the wax from softening excessively. Avoid direct sunlight and intense heat. To erase marks, gently warm the wax with your hand or a soft cloth and smooth it out again. Clean the stylus after each use.
