Brass Sockets & Switches

Chances are you will want a brass looking finish and at SocketsandSwitches.Com we can offer you a varity of different Brass finishes from traditional to contemporary.
Antique Brass
Made from the latest standard brass socket and switch plates, the Antique Brass finish is made by applying a subtle brown streaked glaze over the brass which is then rubbed down to give it the appearance of an aged plate before being lacquered for protection. This ensures that every plate is individual and slightly different to stay true to the antique look.
To enhance the appearance of the sockets and switches, look for ranges that have matching antique brass metal rocker switches.
Polished Brass
Whichever style you choose, all the Polished Brass sockets and switches are highly buffed to give the reflective polished finish, then have a lacquer applied to keep the brass looking pristine, thus ensuring that every plate is finished to the same standard, remaining maintenance free without the need for it to be polished each day.

Old Brass
Old Brass has a rustic worn effect throughout with a distressed golden sheen to it which gives these sockets and switches the appearance of a time aged plate. The effect is consistent over the entire plate which is finished with a lacquer to protect the old brass finish ensuring the finish stays consistent over the lifetime of the plate and maintenance free.
Unlacquered Brass
Unlacquered Brass starts as highly polished brass plate and then does not have the a protective lacquer applied. Without the lacquer the brass is allowed to age over time to natural old brass finish with it's own characteristics, making every unlacquered plate individual.
The time taken to age depends on the local conditions from how much the socket or switch is used to the temperature and humidity in the air.
