DESCRIPTION Achieve a country cottage look with our delightful, handcrafted Monkey Tail window latch in a soft, black beeswax finish. Handcrafted here at our Suffolk workshop, the Jim Lawrence Monkey Tail window latch is designed for casement windows and is made using traditional metal working techniques that have been passed down the generations. This window latch is made from high grade steel that gives it a lovely weighty quality that feels wonderful in your hand. It has been finished in beeswax, an age-old method of dipping metal in hot beeswax to give it a rustic, black, forged iron look that would suit any cottage or period home. Pair it with our lockable Monkey Tail latches if you need added security, and our collection of Monkey Tail window stays for a uniform look around our home. Left handed latches are used where the window hinges are on the right – see our Door & Window Latch Guide. Please Note: We do not recommend the beeswax finish for use in a humid environment, as it is harder to maintain and may rust. We feel that Matt Black is the preferable option.

The metal is heated until it darkens and then dipped in natural beeswax which gives is a lovely soft black wrought iron effect which looks fabulous in any traditional or contemporary interior.
