Arts and Crafts Push Button / GFI Combination Switch Plate in Oil Rubbed Bronze

These plates are absolutely beautiful. They are very thick brass (almost 1/8""), with a dark patina. The only thing to be very aware of is that they have no hollow recess behind them, so if any part of the electrical box or outlet/switch sticks out beyond the plane of the wall, the plates will not fit up tight to the wall and there will be a gap. There are several tricks you can do with outlets/switches to accomodate this as long as the box is flush or recessed slightly. The patina is very thin, as metal patinas usually are, and can scratch through to the brass underneath if contacted with metal (such as a screwdriver during installation), so you'll want to be careful. These sure do look great once they are installed tight to the wall, and the price is very reasonable compared to other options. These look particularly nice with the black push button switches and fan controls or GFCI outlets.

These outlet covers never fail to impress. They are a detail that merits being included in your restoration or even new/old build
