Description
This is a small round plate finished in antique brass, with the warm, slightly darkened tone that reads older than a bright polished gold. It measures 80mm across and stands 25mm deep, so it sits low and quietly against a ceiling. There is no hole through the centre, which makes it the plain, closed version: a cover rather than an exit for flex. It carries no wiring and takes no lamp of its own.
We reach for these when a ceiling has been left looking unfinished, whether an old fitting has come down, a point is no longer in use, or an existing rose sits at odds with the rest of the metalwork in the room. It suits anyone tidying up after a change of lighting, and anyone who likes the brass hardware in a room to match. The small size keeps it discreet in a hallway, above a stairwell or in a bedroom, where a wider plate would draw the eye up to the ceiling and hold it there.
The antique brass has depth to it rather than a flat gloss, and no two pieces settle at quite the same shade, which is part of what makes an aged finish worth having. Keep it to dry indoor rooms and away from steam. A soft dry cloth across the face is all the upkeep it asks for; skip metal polish, cream cleaners and scouring pads, as those will cut the aged tone back and leave bright patches. It carries a one year warranty. We stock the Hayes cable grip kits in matching antique brass, and in antique copper, gilt bronze, French gold, polished chrome and satin nickel besides, if you are building up a set of parts in a single finish.

Frequently Asked
Does this plate have a hole for flex to pass through?
No. This is the closed version, so the face is solid with no aperture through the centre. If you need flex to pass through, choose a plate with a hole rather than this one.
What size is it?
It is 80mm in diameter and 25mm high, and it weighs 0.09kg, so it stays visually light on a ceiling.
Is it electrical? Does anything come with it?
It is a non-electric accessory with no socket, wiring or lamp. It is supplied as the plate in antique brass.
How do I keep the antique brass looking right?
Wipe it with a soft dry cloth. Avoid metal polish, cream cleaner and abrasive pads, because the aged tone is a surface finish and polishing will take it back to bright brass in patches.
Can it be used in a bathroom or outdoors?
No. It is rated IP20, which means dry indoor rooms only, well away from splashes and steam.
