Three dolly switches on a Regency style plate made from solid brass with a Polished Brass Unlacquered finish.

The Regency style of plate is characterized by the bead detailing around the edge that is associated with this particular period and architectural style. This design can also be found in other architectural items from the period such as door furniture and lighting.

Unlacquered polished brass is a living finish that will mellow over time. To start with it is bright and shiny, but it will age and develop a rich dark patina that has lighter areas where it is handled. It can be left to age like this indefinitely or can be polished with a metal polish to restore to bright and shiny as new. Leaving the plates to age naturally is a popular choice in period and traditional settings as the characterfulness can be more in keeping. If you don't want to wait for the ageing to take place naturally in your home, consider our Hand Aged Brass finish instead.

The high quality dolly switch mechanisms are made in the UK by Wandsworth and rated at 20 Amps. All three are supplied as 2 Way which means they are suitable for lights that only require switching from up to 2 places. If you would like to swap any of them to intermediate, double pole or retractive switches instead please contact us (an intermediate switch would be required if a light is to be operated from more than 2 places; a double pole switch can operate more than one circuit and a retractive switch is one where you "push to make").

A particular feature of our dolly switches is that the plate can be taken off easily (leaving the connections safely in place) for example for redecoration purposes or for cleaning of unlacquered plates so that you don't risk getting polish on your wall.

We highly recommend using a minimum 35mm backbox with this product to give a comfortable amount of space for the grid (the switch or socket mechanism) and wiring behind the plate.
