Description
This solid brass 1-gang knurled toggle switch controls a single lighting circuit and supports single-pole, 3-way, or 4-way wiring configurations. The toggle features a firm, mechanical action with a precise, satisfying click that feels consistent in everyday use.
Well suited for bedrooms, hallways, bathrooms, kitchens, and home offices, it complements refined interiors with a clean, understated presence. Crafted from solid brass, it carries a noticeable weight and delivers a distinctly high-end feel once installed.
Finishes & Natural Variations
Our wall plates are crafted from solid brass and finished entirely by hand. This process gives each piece a deeper, more refined look than plated alternatives, while naturally allowing for subtle variations from one item to another.
Aged Bronze (Hand-Brushed) — a rich, deep tone with a soft, greenish patina. The hand-brushed process ensures that every piece has its own unique character.
Antique Brass (Hand-Brushed) — an artisanal brushed finish with intentional variation. These differences are part of the design language, not imperfections.
Unlacquered Antique Brass (Hand-Brushed) — a living finish with no protective coating. Delivered with an aged appearance, it will continue to evolve over time as it reacts to air, touch, and its environment.
Satin Brass — a smooth brushed finish sealed with a protective lacquer. It maintains its original tone and slows down natural aging.
Stainless Steel — a clean, cool metallic finish with a refined brushed texture.
Matte Black — a solid brass base coated in a deep matte black for a bold, architectural presence.
White — a clean, minimalist coating over solid brass for a crisp, understated look.
Batch variation & hand-finishing notes:
Because each plate is finished by hand, slight differences in tone and patina between batches are expected. Factors such as brushing pressure, polishing, paint mixing, and even humidity can influence the final appearance.
Most finishes may vary by up to approximately 10% between batches.
For Unlacquered Antique Brass, a distinct oxidizing process is used. As a result, variations can be more pronounced, sometimes reaching up to 30% lighter or darker tones.
To ensure consistency, we make every effort to ship items from the same production batch whenever possible.
These natural variations are an inherent characteristic of genuine brass and are not considered defects.
Installation Guide
Step 1: Turn Off Power
Before you begin, switch off the power at your circuit breaker or fuse box to ensure complete safety.
Step 2: Remove the Existing Plate
Unscrew the current wall plate using a screwdriver. Carefully lift it away and set it aside.
Step 3: Take Out the Old Switch
Unscrew the switch from the electrical box and gently pull it forward to access the wiring.
Step 4: Disconnect the Wiring
Remove the wires from the existing switch:
• If the wires are wrapped around screws, loosen them.
• If they are inserted into terminals, release them and strip the ends if needed.
Step 5: Connect the New Switch
Attach the wires to your new toggle switch:
• Black (live) wire to the brass or black screw
• White (neutral) wire to the silver screw (if required)
• Green or bare copper wire to the green grounding screw
Ensure each connection is firmly secured.
Step 6: Secure the Switch
Carefully place the wires back into the electrical box. Align the switch and fasten it using the provided screws.
Step 7: Install the Cover Plate
Position the brass plate over the switch and secure it in place with the included screws.
Step 8: Restore Power
Turn the power back on at the breaker or fuse box.
Step 9: Test the Installation
Flip the switch on and off to confirm everything is working correctly. The connected light or device should operate smoothly.
