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.

This week we will focus on the Nickel Silver range of switches, sockets, dimmers, and other wiring devices from Forbes and Lomax. These plates come with a highly polished nickel plate which create a mirror finish of a great quality.

Did you know that the Nickel Silver finish became very popular in the 19th Century in the UK? Because of its similarity to the Sterling Silver, the Nickel Silver finish began to be used in all kinds of various decorations around the house, including the switches and the sockets.

If you want a luxurious finish for your electrical accessories, something different and warmer than the chrome finish, the Forbes and Lomax nickel silver range is very appealing especially for living areas. Actually, you can use this range both in traditional and in more contemporary interiors.
