Electric light switch

These electric light switches date from the early 20th century and represent a type of switch that was later superseded by a form of lever switch.

The light switches have a push on/off button of ivory, with a highly decorated circular surround of cast brass. The surround has an outer rim with a raised design of stylised leaves, while the inner ring has a raised design of stylised leaves and berries.
