This type of switch is often associated with an Art Deco or vintage aesthetic, popular in the 1920s and 30s. Bakelite is an early form of plastic known for its high melting point and low conductivity, making it suitable for electrical fittings. You can find similar reproduction or restored Bakelite switches and fittings from specialized retailers or antique/salvage stores.
These switches are often used in period properties or to create a retro-inspired interior design.
