Description :
This is a 7" tall antique brass lamp socket assembly featuring an ornate turn-key switch and pull-chain. The design includes finely cast details with a leafy motif at the base and around the rotary switch area. The socket itself is a classic paddle-style with a beaded pull chain. It retains original wiring and a side-entry arm, likely salvaged from a table lamp or sconce. The brass surface exhibits a warm, aged patina with light oxidation and minor verdigris at the joints. This piece is ideal for restoration projects or for reuse in vintage lighting repairs.
