History Crabtree: Founded in 1919 in Walsall, Great Britain, J.A. Crabtree & Co. Ltd. quickly established itself as a key name in electrical manufacturing. That same year, the company began producing its first Crabtree light switches. Over the decades, Crabtree grew into a leading maker of electrical installation materials, with its 1950s switch designs often reflecting the elegance of the Art Deco and Mid-Century Modern styles. Today, vintage Crabtree switches are valued not only for their craftsmanship but also for their place in industrial and design history. While many remain in working order, experts recommend having them professionally restored to meet modern electrical safety standards before reuse.

Please note: Our electrical items are vintage items and are sold as collector’s pieces. If you intend to use them, we recommend that you have them inspected and certified for safety by a qualified electrician before connecting or operating them. Please consult your electrician before purchasing.
