This hand-forged monkey tail window stay provides a traditional and practical way to hold casement windows open while adding a classic decorative detail to the window frame. The distinctive spiral “monkey tail” end reflects traditional blacksmith craftsmanship and brings classic character to both period homes and rustic interiors. Designed for adjustable positioning, the stay allows the window to be secured in several open positions using the supplied pins. This simple and reliable mechanism helps control airflow while keeping the window safely held in place. Finished in a traditional black protective coating, the stay offers a durable and classic appearance that complements timber window frames and traditional iron fittings. The finish makes the stay suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, making it ideal for exterior casement windows and shutters. Primarily designed for wooden casement windows, the stay is mounted to the window frame and sash using the fixing holes provided. The adjustable pin system allows the window to be held open at various distances while maintaining a traditional decorative appearance.
The traditional black finish requires minimal maintenance and can be wiped occasionally with a dry cloth to help preserve its appearance over time
