Pictures of Forbes and Lomax Verdigris Sockets and Switches

You may remember the old switches and sockets that our grandparents use to have in their old house, with a "rusty-looking" plate nowadays called Verdigris... Well, the good people at Forbes and Lomax paid a visit to a museum a while ago and they brought back to life the Verdigris range!

The finish of the switches and sockets in this range is inspired by the statues and the ancient artefacts from the Greek Bronze age. Don't worry - these switches and sockets look stylish in both contemporary and traditional interiors. The plates are hand-finished in order to produce a slightly variable effect - there's no two plates alike! Read more on the process and how they look like via, Verdigris Switches and Sockets from Forbes and Lomax.
