Update your windows with our sleek, contemporary style Manson Espagnolette in a soft, black beeswax finish. Handcrafted here at our Suffolk workshop, this
Jim Lawrence Manson Espagnolette is designed for casement windows with an espagnolette mechanism (not supplied) 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 collection of
Manson window stays for a stylish, uniform look around our home.
- The espagnolette is supplied with a 7mm square spindle and allen key.
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. Knowledge Base Guides
Finish
Beeswax: A traditional technique used since Tudor times. 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. As beeswax is a natural finish that reacts with the underlying metal during the forging process, it often has a subtle, slightly mottled patina with undertones of deep grey or ochre. It is not waterproof, so will need to be rewaxed occasionally.
