THoughts on a lamp switch

I've finished the basic design for the Steampunk-inspired floor lamp. But although the individual lamps have switches in their bases, I wanted a central switch that would turn on/off the light inside the box as well as the lamps.

It ought to be something appropriate for the design of the lamp.

I was thinking of something like a portion of the box rotating to turn the light on/off or something like that.
Looking around the web for inspiration I found a pretty cool "vintage industrial light switch" on eBay but it was over $100 - no way!

still, perhaps I can take a regular lamp switch and make it look appropriate, worst case I can do some kind of pull-chain with a real chain or something.
