Premium Push Button Light Switch with Mother-of-Pearl Inlays

We were very pleased with these push button switches. The worked perfectly to replace the push button switches in our 1926 house. Sometimes tiny details make all the difference in restoring a vintage house.

Makes a great touch to realism in the look for restoration of 1884 Victorian; items are new but look original to when electricity was first installed in the house.

This switch and plate replace one put in in the 60s in our 1919 bungalow. It was very easy to install and adds a little more of a vintage touch to our entry. I got it on sale for a good price. I'll be getting more for other rooms.

Renovating a House Boat for clients who wanted something beyond run-of-the-mill Hardware. These push-button switches pair nicely with the existing hardwood floors and architecture of the building/boat, as well as meeting the clients interior design style requirements. Aesthetically, it is nice to have found a product that uses real mother of pearl on the buttons. The only downside to these switches is that they are loud, making an audible ""BOING"" when operated, After conferring with the client, and running some tests we will be modifying these switches before install to dampen the noise. For those interested, here's how we did it: (However unless you are very familiar with mechanical switches and electrical safety I don't recommend attempting this modification.) We achieved a notable decrease in noise by disassembling the switches and adding a short length of high temperature rated heat shrink tubing around the long copper ""arm"" that the ""upper"" moving contact is mounted on, making sure to not cover the contact itself or Interfere with the mechanical operation of the switch . We achieved great results, but it is time consuming if you have more than a few switches to do! In future it would be great if the manufacturer changed the design to reduce noise, as most Consumers would likely not have the knowledge, or want to pay for aftermarket modifications.

I bought this along with some dimmers to use in my living room. It has a nice look, especially with brass switch plates. It feels a little lower quality than the price. If you are switching from a true antique, you will definitely notice that it doesn't feel as solid.

I purchased an authentic reproduction of a push button light switch for my home that was built in 1925. I am happy that my purchase fit exactly.

During this last year, we have been working on ""updating"" our home to it's original character that is consistent with the age of the house (1907). It was remodeled by previous owners in the '50s and '70s and needed to be fixed up. We still want our own style to show through and these switches worked great. We replaced switches in our kitchen, foyer, stairway, and bedroom. These match the original switches found in other parts of the house perfectly.

easy installation

I'm in the process or replacing all the switches in my craftsman bungalow with push buttons. I find this product to have the fit, finish, and function I am looking for. The only complaint I have is that it is a little hard to get my wires fitted under the screw posts. They are original copper and a little thick. But once fitted it looks and works great.

I love antique push button light switches. When my husband installed this one, I was hoping that it would have a harder push/click sound when I used it. I have played with actual antique push button switches and I thought for some reason that they had a little more resistance when pushing the button and it made a good click sound when pushing it. With mine, it's quieter and easier to push (love the ease of it), but kind of wished it was more clickey (if that makes sense) with the sound. Otherwise, I LOVE the look of it. I love the ease of wiring and the practically easy install and how upgraded and safer it is to have in the house. Can't wait to have more switches replaced!
