Georgian Telephone Socket Secondary Hand Aged Brass

A single telephone socket on a Georgian style plate made from solid brass with a Hand Aged finish.The Georgian style of plate is characterized by the rope 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. It is a quality, heavy cast plate that also has a practical advantage of being slightly larger than some other plate styles (whilst still fitting to a standard back box) so can be useful to cover up messy plastering around the plate edge.Hand Aged Brass is antiqued by hand as a bespoke service by our specialist Crafstman. Being hand aged, no two pieces are ever identical.  It is a living finish that is unlacquered so it will oxidise as it is exposed to the air and it will mellow even further and develop a richer patina with age and use. We can also make the finish darker or lighter, for example to complement other products you have.  Please contact us to discuss. Clean with a soft damp cloth followed by an application of a quality wax polish. A primary (or master) socket is required for the outlet where the telephone line first enters the property, for all other locations in your property you need a secondary (or slave) socket. We highly recommend using a minimum 35mm depth backbox with this product to give a comfortable amount of space for the wiring behind the plate.Dimensions:Height: 96mm; Width: 96mm
