The Antique bronze range from Forbes and Lomax has a rich warm hue to the plates, making them attracting in both contemporary and traditional interiors. These switches also work particularly well on wood paneling 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 so the finish became very fashionable in the Art Deco period. The Forbes&Lomax Antique Bronze finish is durable and will stand the test of time. Nowadays, original Antique Bronze switch plates can be seen in old buildings, which even today are still looking great(and will do for almost a hundred of hears onwards). All the socket outlets are available and are supplied with black inserts to complement the dark finish of the plates. To find out more about the features and the existing models of this particular finish, read below.
