值得尊敬的Wax Chandlers蜡烛公司是伦敦金融城伦敦同业公会的一员。伦敦同业公会是在1358年由市长和议事长根据议事程序和当时法令创立的。1371年一项新法令颁布，该公司在1484年被授予了一张皇家特许状——查理三世颁布的唯一两张特许状中的一张。制造或者销售的蜂蜡蜡烛通常和动物脂蜡烛相区别。蜂蜡蜡烛通常被用在教堂、贵族或者皇室家里，而一般的动物油脂蜡烛被普通家庭使用。
     因为这个原因，大多数的同业公会会员、蜡烛销售商不再是传统意义上的蜡烛制造商，他们成立了慈善组织协会，赞助全国蜂蜜展览和英国养蜂协会。他们还用5000欧元作为奖金，支持蜡的使用创新和设计。
     在1515年William Boteler市长任期后，Wax Chandlers蜡烛公司在同业协会里排名第20。在1485年2月3日，公司被纹章次官Thomas Holme爵士授予纹章，1530年有支持者加入公司。该公司的座右铭是真理即光明。
自从1501年起公司在格列汉姆大街6号建立了办事大厅。目前的办事厅是第六个办事厅，二战被破坏后经过重新修复，这个办事厅被重新粉刷一新准备出租。人们可以在伦敦房屋开放周上预订参观。
     公司依据1663年查理二世授予的皇家特许状和1664年颁布的法令进行管理，管理者包括主要蜡烛生产销售商，上层的租赁监理以及一个协助委员会。这个管理组织是在6月份的选举大会上选举出来的，在8月份第一个周四举办的庆典上成立，公司由专门的办事员来管理。

     The Worshipful Company of Wax Chandlers is one of the Livery Companies of the City of London. The organization was established in 1358 by the granting of by-laws and ordinances by the Lord Mayor and Alderman. New ordinances were issued in 1371. The company received a Royal Charter in 1484- one of only two known Royal Charters of Richard III. The Wax Chandlers, or merchants in beeswax products, were traditionally separate from the Tallow Chandlers; beeswax candles were customary in churches and noble and royal homes, while tallow candles were used in ordinary homes.
     As is the case with most Livery Companies, the Wax Chandlers are no longer a trade association of wax candle makers, instead existing as a charitable institution. They are Patrons of the National Honey Show and the British Beekeeping Association. They award an annual Wax Prize valued at euro 5,000 to support innovation in the design or use of waxes.
     The Wax Chandlers Company ranks twentieth in the order of precedence of Livery Companies after the ruling in 1515 of Lord May William Boteler. The Company was grated arms by Sir Thomas Holme, Clarenceux King of Arms of February 3, 1485 and supporters were added in 1530. The Company’s motto is Truth is the Light.
     The company has had a hall at 6 Gresham St., London since 1501. The current hall is the sixth and was rebuilt after being damaged during World War II. It has just been refurbished and is available for hire. It may be visited by prior booking during London Open House Weekend.
The Company is governed under a Royal Charles II of 1663 and by ordinances of 1664. It is ruled by a Master Wax Chandler and his Upper and Renter Wardens and by a Court of Assistances. These are elected at the election court in June and installed ceremonially in office on the first Thursday of August. The Company is administered by its Clerk.
