Description
An unusual original vintage British industrial four-gang rotary electrical switch assembly, salvaged from the former Fort Halstead military research establishment near Sevenoaks, Kent.
Featuring four individual rotary controls arranged in a distinctive square formation within a substantial cast-metal enclosure, believed to be aluminium alloy.
Each control features an original brass-coloured slotted operating head, surrounded by raised ON/OFF lettering cast directly into the housing.
The enclosure retains its attractive aged industrial finish, displaying natural oxidation, surface wear and patina acquired through decades of use.
The interior contains the original electrical switch mechanisms, terminal blocks and connecting wiring.
A striking example of functional industrial design, with considerable decorative appeal. Ideal for collectors of vintage electrical equipment, architectural salvage, industrial-inspired interiors or as an unusual wall-mounted display piece.
