This photograph showcases a collection of Roanoid bakelite drawer knobs from the 1930s, showcasing the timeless allure of this iconic design. Bakelite, a pioneering plastic material invented in 1909, revolutionized the world of home furnishings with its modern and sleek appearance. These Roanoid knobs, with their marbled brown finish, embody the elegance and sophistication of the era. The knobs, available in both square and round shapes, feature intricate flower designs with delicate petals, adding a touch of natural beauty to the otherwise industrial material. The contrast between the shiny bakelite and the brass spindles adds an element of sophistication and luxury. The square knobs boast clean lines and geometric shapes, while the round knobs exhibit a more organic and flowing design. Bakelite's durability and resistance to heat made it an ideal material for drawer knobs and other fittings. The material's ability to be molded into various shapes and colors allowed for endless design possibilities, making it a popular choice for furniture manufacturers during the 1930s. This collection of Roanoid bakelite drawer knobs is a testament to the enduring appeal of this design, which continues to inspire modern home decorators and collectors alike. The photograph captures the essence of this bygone era, transporting us back to a time when design was at the forefront of innovation and functionality. The Roanoid bakelite drawer knobs, with their marbled brown finish and intricate flower designs, are a stunning example of the beauty and elegance that can be found in even the most functional of objects.
