Description
Monkey Tail Casement Stay 11″- Beeswax Finish
These hand forged, beeswax finish monkey tail peg or casement stays, made using traditional blacksmithing techniques, showcase authentic craftsmanship. Blacksmiths heat mild steel in fire, hammer it on an anvil, and shape it by hand to achieve strength and individuality. The beeswax finish, applied while the metal is still warm, creates a protective layer that enhances durability. This coating preserves the natural steel colour while giving the surface a rich, soft, and matte appearance. It also highlights the subtle forging marks that make each piece unique.
Monkey tail casement stays first appeared in seventeenth century homes and became popular throughout rural Britain. Their curled handle, shaped like a monkey’s tail, provided a decorative yet practical detail that allowed easy adjustment of casement windows. Over time, monkey tail peg stays became closely linked with traditional timber windows, and they continue to be favoured for heritage properties today.
Casement stays hold windows open at different angles and are usually paired with a beeswax matching monkey tail casement latch. This combination provides both security and convenience, while maintaining period style. For wide casement windows, fitting additional beeswax window stays ensures strength and reliable operation. Because these hand forged pieces are available in different sizes, they can suit a variety of window designs, from small cottage windows to larger farmhouse openings.

Although not reclaimed, these stays have spent many years in storage, giving the ironwork a naturally aged appearance. The beeswax finish deepens this effect, producing a surface that blends seamlessly with original fittings. Monkey tail casement stays with this treatment look authentic while remaining entirely functional.
Their traditional design pairs perfectly with monkey tail casement latches, creating a consistent and rustic aesthetic. They also sit comfortably alongside other period ironmongery, making them suitable for cottages, barns, farmhouses, or heritage style newbuilds.
By choosing these hand forged, beeswax finish monkey tail window stays, you invest in strength, authenticity, and lasting quality. Each stay demonstrates skilled blacksmithing, practical function, and visual appeal, ensuring your windows benefit from both durability and traditional character.
