Description
This 4-gang solid brass knurled toggle light switch brings four independent lighting controls together in a single, clean wall plate well suited for open-plan layouts, large kitchens, multi-zone living areas, staircases with additional circuits, and commercial interiors.
Each toggle offers a smooth, precise action with a reassuringly solid, premium feel, ensuring both durability and a refined everyday experience.
Each switch module is cULus listed (UL file E313169), so it is certified for use in both the United States and Canada. Rated 15A, 110 to 120V. The cULus listing covers the single pole / 3 way switch module.
About Unlacquered Antique Brass: this is a handmade finish, made to order. Each piece is hand brushed, then oxidized by hand, so no two pieces are exactly alike and the brass keeps developing a natural patina over time. Current lead time for this finish: about 3 weeks of production before shipping.

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.

How it's made
Made by hand, one piece at a time
Each plate is cut from solid brass and the toggle is solid brass too. There is no plastic frame and no second face plate: the plate is one plain, smooth piece, so your wall reads as a single detail rather than a gadget.
Every piece is then finished by hand, brushed, aged or polished one at a time, and checked before it leaves the workshop. That is why no two plates are exactly alike, and why it feels so different the first time you reach for it.
