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.

Paintable Switches and Sockets in Pictures

Yes, you heard this right - you can paint your switches, sockets, data sockets, spurs, etc. Not all of them, of course, only those who are specifically called "primed white" (they have been already painted with a primer white coat of paint) or "paintable" devices.

Heritage Brass came out with two main ranges in flat plate, the Primed White and Primed White Screwless. You guessed the difference - the screwless range has no visible screws, while the other has.

Why would you install paintable devices in your house / office? Because you can customize their color, making them match the wall color or having them be totally opposite to the existing wallpaper / color!

Unfortunately there are not too many pictures provided by the manufacturers and we ourselves did not "open the box to take picture" of these devices, so we will introduce below what we have. Enjoy!
