Antique Brass Switches and Sockets | SND Electrical

Antique brass switches and sockets bring a warm, traditional finish to both period and modern interiors. This collection from SND Electrical focuses on practical, everyday wiring accessories with an antique brass faceplate, ideal where appearance matters just as much as function. Whether you are updating a single room or working through a full renovation, these fittings offer a classic look that sits comfortably in UK homes.

The range includes antique brass light switches and matching plug sockets designed for domestic installations. It suits homeowners refreshing interiors, landlords carrying out upgrades, and trade electricians looking for consistent finishes across a project. Antique brass sockets and switches are often chosen for their muted tone, which avoids the high shine of polished brass while still adding character.

These fittings are commonly used in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways and dining areas, particularly in Victorian, Edwardian and cottage-style properties. They are also popular in extensions or refurbishments where you want a traditional accent without clashing with modern décor. Pairing antique brass electrical accessories with wood, stone or neutral paint colours helps create a cohesive, considered finish.

When choosing antique brass switches and sockets, it is worth considering the type of switch you need, such as single or double, and whether you are matching existing wiring accessories. Think about consistency across rooms, plate size, and whether you want a subtle patina or a cleaner antique brass look. Checking your back box depth can also help avoid fitting issues.

All products in this collection are selected to suit UK wiring standards and are intended for use with standard installations. This allows electricians and DIYers to replace or upgrade existing sockets and switches without unnecessary complexity. Keeping the same finish across sockets, light switches and accessories helps maintain a professional, finished appearance.
