c.1899 Brass and Black Cast Iron Emerson Table Top Fan

About the Item

Stunning unique pieces like this only come around once in a lifetime. This amazing brass and cast iron fan was produced in 1899 when things were made to work for a lifetime. In this case, this is an example of a beautiful pairing of form and function. The images speak for themselves and the piece is more impressive in person. The added bonus is that this fan is fully *functional* and creates the most amazing breeze. Imagine this piece in a retro metro environment or perhaps a chic antique industrial vibe. It is a the perfect find! *Due to the era from which this fan was produced, there were no guards used to protect fingers from the fan blades. Therefore, if the new owner chooses to enjoy the functionality of this fan, extreme caution is necessary for anyone in close proximity to the fan while in operation.
