Antique 1920s/30s Hand-Turned Wooden Light Pulls – ‘SHUT’ (Pair)

A beautifully quirky pair of solid wood light pulls, likely dating to the 1920s or 1930s. Hand-turned and finished with a mellow patina from decades of use, each is hand-painted with the word ‘SHUT’ in white lettering. Whether originally made as a humorous gesture or a literal instruction, their charm lies in their simplicity and the craftsmanship of the turning.

The shape is tactile and functional, with a slightly conical silhouette and a contrasting rubber band toward the base. These would make a characterful addition to a bathroom, pantry, or cloakroom—ideal for someone who appreciates vintage utility pieces with a sense of humour.

Dimensions;
Length: 10cm
Approx width: 2.5cm

Condition: Lovely timeworn surface with some wear to the lettering, consistent with age. Strong and usable, or equally display-worthy as a curio.
