Antique & Vintage Finish Fixtures

Antique brass wiring accessories let the switches, sockets and plates in a room share one metal finish. This collection has Knightsbridge antique brass accessories, including light and toggle switches, intelligent dimmers, sockets with and without USB charging, cooker and appliance switches, shaver sockets, modular and combination plates and clip-in grid modules, in square edge, screwless and grid styles to suit the room.

Choosing Antique & Vintage Finish Fixtures

Antique brass sockets and switches are wiring accessories finished in antique brass, and the Knightsbridge pieces here include switched, USB and shaver sockets, toggle switches and dimmers, plus a smoked bronze shaver socket. Choose the plate style first, because Knightsbridge matches the finish within a range, then pick the switch and socket types the room needs.

Square edge, screwless and grid

Square edge plates such as the CS3AB and CS4AB have a metal plate with a built-in gasket, and many are made from 430 stainless steel. Screwless plates such as the SF3000AB have a low profile, and screwless sockets such as the SFR7000AB hide the socket insert once a plug is in. Grid modules such as the GDM005AB clip in from the front and fit the GDCS8AB 8G grid faceplate, which is finished to coordinate with the square edge antique brass range.

Lighting control

There are 10AX 2-way switches from 1G to 6G, such as the SF2000AB and CS42AB, intermediate switches such as the CS12AB for a light switched from three places, and toggle versions such as the CSTOG3AB and SF2TOGAB. The intelligent dimmers, such as the SF2193AB 3G and CS2194AB 4G, handle 10-200W (5-150W LED), switch between trailing-edge and leading-edge modes and are for dimmable lamps.

Sockets and appliances

Sockets include switched, unswitched, lockable and night light versions, and USB models such as the SFR9919AB (18W) and SFR9945AB (45W over USB-C). For kitchens and fixed appliances there are 45A cooker switches such as the SF81MNAB, which need a 47mm box, 20A double pole switches such as the CS834NAB, the CS8342AB 20A flex outlet plate and the SF6300NAB 13A switched fused spur.

Frequently asked questions

What electrical fittings suit a period property?

Period properties often suit wiring accessories in a warm metal finish such as antique brass, paired with toggle switches or slim metal rocker plates. Choose one plate style and finish across the house so switches, sockets and dimmers match. Modern functions such as USB charging and dimming can sit behind the same traditional look. The range here includes toggle switches, dimmers, USB sockets and shaver sockets.

What is a traditional light switch?

A traditional light switch usually means a toggle switch with a small metal lever, or a metal plate rocker switch in a classic finish such as antique brass. Toggle switches suit period and industrial-style rooms. They are typically wired the same way as a standard switch, and two-way and intermediate versions can control a light from several places.

What is an aged brass finish?

An aged brass finish, often called antique brass, is a darker, softer brass tone made to look like brass that has mellowed over time. On several plates here it is a finish applied over stainless steel rather than solid brass. Clean it with a soft dry cloth and avoid abrasive or chemical cleaners.

What is an antique brass socket?

An antique brass socket is a standard UK plug socket with a metal faceplate in an antique brass finish, chosen to suit traditional or period interiors. It works like any other socket and should meet BS 1363 where it takes UK plugs. The range here includes switched, unswitched, USB, lockable and night light sockets.
