Customer is making "a statement" with the lighting in the entrance vestibule of their enormous cavern of a house. They have 2 bloody enormous chandaliers that are going to take a hell of a lot of putting up, I'll definitely have to hire in a scaff and maybe even some winching gear.
Lucky me.
I remember a while back someone posted up a link to some fantastic old style switches and sockets, you know the ones with the round, fluted covers on them.
If you know of anywhere please let me know, I JFGId but I'm not finding what they want yet.

EDS got us some wood effect switches , a long time ago though . It might be worth giving them a ring.

Dave, you got a link mate? All I'm seeing is the square edge cack. Their kilnwood range is very pretty though.

Olivers are very good used them quite a few times.
For the chandelier try the likes of HSS for site hoists and pulleys..
I usually mount the hoist in the loft or if you have help just pulleys will do
