Bakelite Revival


At the height of the Deco era, Bakelite doorbells bearing angular geometric lines were all the rage. Today, Vintage Hardware offers true reproductions of this emblematic accessory, which is made using the original manufacturing methods-by baking phenolic resin in a mold under pressure. Available in an eye-popping array of hues (yellow, cobalt blue, and red), the doorbells retail for $32.31. To order, visit www.vintage hardware.com, or call (360) 379-9030.
