Art deco style switches?

[reidfo]

I'm planning a home theater buildout that will be all art deco style. I want to replace the switches in the existing 4-gang box with something retro in the art deco style. I'm finding that most switchplates are 3 gang, which I am willing to work with (don't need the fourth switch), but the switches themselves are even harder to find, and I've found nothing that's controllable. I really like the old style pushbutton switches. Have any of you found or used anything similar? I'm wondering if I could use standard pushbutton switches with a Z-Wave micro switch? Any experiences you could share would be appreciated.

I've only done this once, with a single switch and it worked reasonably well. Instead of running the AC power to the switch I ran low voltage wire and triggered a contact on my Rain8Relay box that triggered a UPB link that controlled the light with a UPB inline module. i never did figure out how to dim it from the switch but it worked for off and on. Kind of a round about way of doing it but it did work. Of course you'd have to use a lot more relays for a 3 or 4 gang switchbox.

I like the old 20-30's look retro switches. These were a mixture of porclein and brass. It would be a low voltage toggle thing and a major DIY; but the look would be true retro look.
