Since 1999, Vermont Slate Art has salvaged antique slate from the rooftops of century old farmhouses, barns, and churches- then expertly handcrafts the natural stone in to breath taking switch plate covers, providing a unique and decorative accent to your home.  The weathering effect on our ANTIQUE line of slate produces fascinating color variations and textures on each piece, creating character and originality.  We also craft from NEW slate which provides a rich, beauitful solid color.  If you are looking for the perfect detail piece to set your home apart, look no further than our  CUSTOM-MADE SWITCH PLATES and electrical covers.  We can accommodate any electrical configuration you may have.
We also offer high quality Doorbell Plates and River Rock Cabinet Knobs.  The perfect accent for your cabinets and drawers.

FAQ's

Are screws included?
All plate covers, rock knobs and doorbellplates come with screws.

What is delivery time?
Each order is custom hand crafted and delivery time is currently about 4 weeks.  We do sell plates on eBay, usually available to ship in a few days and at a discount.

What if I am unsure of color?
You can order just one plate-one piece orders usually go out sooner since they are often sample pieces.  Color chips are avavilable upon request-just email. OR We invite sample pieces or digital photos of the colors, textures or materials YOU are working with so we can make the best match.  You can describe your color scheme so we can make a match-leave a note to us upon check out when using our shopping cart or send a separate email

I see your plates are over-sized can I get them standard or to a specific dimension?
You can have them made to any size.  Below are the measurements of our plates:

Or we can make them to your specifications
ALL plates are square-can be turned to fit the other way.
The slate is about 3/16 - 1/4" in thickness

I need a plate that I don't see on the web site-can you make it?
We can make ANY configuration just email a template with measurements.

What do the back of the plates look like?
We route out the back where the slate may come in contact with hardware in order to prevent the plate from rocking and so it sits flush on the wall-see below pic
