IWANNA BUY - Antique light switches - dark colours

I'm doing up an old church and am looking for some in keeping light switches.

I like these....

But don't like the prices! TLC-direct have similar stuff very well priced but only in shiny brass - I'm looking to go much darker by choice.

Google is not finding anything!

    Screwfix stocks the Volex range of matt black electrical fittings - much cheaper (£6.21 each if you buy 5), but perhaps not so decorative

    Fastlec stock the Scolmore Click Deco range of decorative switches available in a variety of antique finishes, pdf catalogue download available here


    The victorian antique brass is darker than the normal polished brass, and may be suitable
