Description :
This 7.5-pound cast iron sash weight was originally installed in double-hung window systems to counterbalance the weight of wooden sashes, allowing for smooth vertical movement. Its elongated, cylindrical shape with an integrated eyelet at the top was designed to be suspended by sash cord within a concealed weight pocket. The surface shows signs of natural rusting and aging, contributing to its appeal for decorative or repurposed use. These authentic architectural elements are now often reused as doorstops, lamp bases, or industrial design accents.
