Monkey Tail Window Stay
The Monkey Tail Window Stay by Traditional Window Fittings embodies classic charm and dependable performance—combining the functional necessity of a window stay with the decorative flourish of a curled, traditional design. As a monkey tail window stay, this piece is crafted from cast iron and hand-finished in the UK, delivering both heritage authenticity and lasting sturdiness.
This door or window stay engages one or more fixed pegs along the frame, allowing you to hold a casement window open securely at varying angles. The timeless monkey tail curve gives the handle elegant visual character and offers comfortable grip every time you operate it.
Available in two distinguished finishes—rich black iron and elegant pewter iron—this stay pairs beautifully with a range of window frames. The black iron version creates bold contrast and conceals marks gracefully, while the pewter iron finish introduces a softer, silvery tone that deepens over time with a gentle patina.
Sold individually and offered in two size options, the Monkey Tail Window Stay adapts to different window proportions and installation needs. Its solid cast iron construction promises durability, and the finish is designed to withstand daily use while ageing with grace rather than wear.
Ideal for heritage restorations, period-sensitive refurbishments or rustic-inspired new builds, this stay brings a harmonious blend of utility and decorative flair. It’s an excellent match for matching cast iron window hardware, such as espag handles or peg stays, offering visual continuity and authentic craftsmanship across your project.

An insight into the manufacturing process…
In the UK, raw castings undergo a carefully controlled, multi-day annealing cycle and slow cooling to transform the carbon structure, delivering the necessary strength with workable malleability. Each piece is then precision-fettled to remove rough edges, assembled, and protected with an advanced rust-inhibiting treatment. A tough, two-coat, oven-cured paint system is applied before final assembly, rigorous inspection, and protective packaging for swift dispatch.
