What Is an Antique Brass Plug Socket?
Antique brass is a particular finish for brass that has the effect of making it look aged. Itâs a popular finish for those looking to decorate a period home or a home with a vintage theme to it. The beautifully warm feel of antique brass is one that suits period properties. However, it is also an increasingly popular choice for modern homes looking to add a touch of sophistication to their dĂ©cor.
Antique brass as an effect can be achieved by using either raw brass or brass plating. The brass is then treated to appear as though it has aged, giving a rich brown hue with subtle golden undertones. Sometimes antique brass is made by coating the metal with either genuine gold or copper, as this produces a convincing antique finish.
Why Is Brass a Good Material for Power Sockets?
Antique brass wall sockets will contribute to a feeling of warmth in your room because of the materialâs rich brown and golden hues. Because it has more of a matte or textured look to it, it means that smudges and blemishes are more hidden than other brass finishes like satin or polished. Though polished brass does have an attractive sheen to it, fingerprints can be easier to see. However, polished or satin brass are both very easy to wipe clean, so your choice really depends on your aesthetic preference.
Youâll often see brass switches and sockets in interior design and home accessory stores because of practical reasons, too. Brass is a very strong material, highly durable and able to stand the test of time. You can rest assured that an antique brass power socket will last for years to come – and look good doing it.
What Would An Antique Brass Electrical Socket Pair Well With?
Never underestimate the power of the small things when it comes to interior design. Something as simple as a plug socket can make a big difference, so the finish you choose for it is important.
Antique brass is an elegant material that adds timeless authenticity to a room. It will go great with other warm colours like reds and browns to create a luxuriously warm feeling for a cosy room. You could also pair it with a more minimalist design – an antique brass socket would stand out on a white wall to make a beautiful statement.
You could also pair your antique brass socket with other brass furniture or antique brass lights for a cohesive feel. The possibilities are endless!
Our Range of Brass Electrical Sockets
A brass plug socket means you can upgrade from the tacky look of a traditional white plastic plug socket. Our stylish range of brass sockets will elevate your interior design. Each socket has a quality metal pressed plate with black inserts that add an attractive depth to the design. The black means dirt and marks are harder to see, in opposition to white inserts.
As all of our products are, our brass sockets are easy to install, suit a range of interior design styles, and offer exceptional value for money.
Here are our three main options for brass plug sockets:
Gang Brass Plug Socket
Our single socket option is the most affordable, with a standard flat plate size of 86mm x 86mm. The sleek 6mm depth means it can easily fit with existing electrical fittings and doesnât stick out. We recommend a minimum back box size of 25mm.
Gang Brass Plug Socket
This double socket option allows you to plug in more than one electrical device in the same area. This multi-functional use makes it a fantastic option if you donât have the space or the means to install multiple fittings throughout your home. The 146mm x 86mm and 6mm depth means it seamlessly fits to your wall. As with the single gang option, a back box size of 25mm is recommended.
Gang Brass Plug Socket With USB
The multifunctional use of a double socket with 2 USB ports means this is excellent value for money and a practical addition to your home. If your back box isnât already sunk into your wall, we recommend a 35mm option.
