Description
A single coaxial connection sits at the centre of a deep navy plate, carrying the aerial feed through to a television point. The plate is screwless, so the face reads as one clean square of colour with nothing breaking the surface, and the whole thing measures 88mm across. It is a small piece of hardware, but it is the sort that gets noticed once everything else on the wall has been painted and finished. We reach for it where a plain white plate would look like an afterthought against a darker scheme.
Living rooms and snugs are the obvious homes for it, behind or beside the television, and it works just as well in a bedroom where an aerial run has been taken in for a second set. It suits anyone matching electrical accessories to a decorating scheme rather than accepting whatever came with the house: navy against pale grey, against panelling, or against a chimney breast in a deeper shade. It is one we suggest when an aerial point is going in at the same time as redecorating. It handles the aerial signal only, so a socket is still wanted nearby for the set itself, and it belongs in indoor rooms that stay dry.
The plate is moulded in polycarbonate, a hard-wearing plastic that takes a deep, even colour and holds it. Keep it looking right with an occasional wipe from a barely damp cloth and nothing stronger, since household sprays and solvents will dull the finish in time. It carries a ten year warranty. We would put it with darker joinery, brass or bronze accessories and warm lamplight, where a run of white plastic tends to jump out at you.
