Step back in time with this image of Roanoid bakelite switch plates from the 1930s. The dark red hue of these round and rectangular plates adds a touch of modernity and sophistication to any room, making them a popular choice during the Art Deco era. Bakelite, a type of plastic, was first introduced in the late 19th century but gained significant popularity in the 1920s and 1930s due to its durability, heat resistance, and sleek appearance. Roanoid, a brand known for its high-quality bakelite products, produced these switch plates in various shapes and sizes, with the round and rectangular designs being particularly sought after. The plain, dark red color of these switch plates complements a wide range of interior design styles, from Art Deco to contemporary. The round plates feature a single hole, while the rectangular plates have multiple holes, allowing for flexibility in arranging switches and outlets. The smooth, glossy surface of the bakelite material not only looks visually appealing but also provides a practical solution for protecting the underlying electrical components. This photograph showcases the timeless beauty and elegance of Roanoid bakelite switch plates from the 1930s. Their unique design and enduring quality continue to captivate collectors and enthusiasts of vintage and antique home furnishings.
