The Forbes and Lomax range of Nickel Silver switches and sockets

The Nickel Silver range has a highly polished plate creating a mirror finish. Nickel Silver first became popular in the 19th century due to its similarity to Sterling Silver and it was commonly used for various decorative items around the home.

It has a luxurious appearance which is much warmer and less clinical than chrome, making it more appealing for living areas.

The Nickel Silver range sits well in both traditional and contemporary interiors.

The Forbes and Lomax Range of Antique Bronze switches and sockets

The Antique Bronze range has a rich warm hue to the plates making them attractive to both contemporary and traditional interiors.

These switches also work particularly well on wood panelling and other unusual surroundings. The plates all have a slightly variable finish which adds to the distinctive look of the range. Many of the early light switches were made in Antique Bronze and the finish became very fashionable in the Art Deco period. The Antique Bronze finish is durable and will stand the test of time.

Original Antique Bronze switch plates can be seen in old buildings today still looking great almost a hundred years on. All socket outlets are available and are supplied with black inserts to complement the dark finish of the plates.
