Description :

A well‑preserved assortment of early electrical‑era porcelain and brass lighting components, selected for their visual character and historical appeal. This grouping includes multiple socket styles—keyless, pull‑chain, and early threaded forms—along with surface‑mount switches and coordinating hardware typical of the first generations of domestic and laboratory wiring.

The pieces feature glazed porcelain bodies paired with solid brass fittings, showing the warm patina and utilitarian craftsmanship associated with turn‑of‑the‑century electrical work. Their clean lines, exposed terminals, and robust materials make them especially suitable for decorative use, period‑inspired lighting builds, or as display elements in laboratory‑themed interiors.

This lot offers strong crossover appeal for collectors of early electrical technology, designers seeking authentic industrial accents, and anyone interested in the material history of scientific and architectural lighting.
