Consider An Antique Ceiling Fan
A person doesn’t have to put in a vintage ceiling fan if they want an antique ceiling fan. There are many modern ceiling fans that look just the classic ceiling fans in older homes and old movies.
Indeed many modern ceiling fans are actually built in the style of the classics. These fans feature such antique touches as wooden blades, polished lights and black metal frames. They look just like the antiques but they are really modern ceiling fans.
The modern replicas of antique ceiling fans can be operated by remote control just like most modern ceiling fans. These antique looking ceiling fans usually meet modern energy efficiency standards as well.
Many people who are worried about safety will be happy to know that these fans have modern wiring and motors. This means they are not likely to burn out or present a safety problem.
Ordering Antique Ceiling Fans
Those who want a “real antique ceiling fan” can probably order one online. In addition to the many fan replicas available there are companies that sell rebuilt antique ceiling fans.
These are authentic antiques that have been rebuilt using both classic and modern components. For example a classic black antique ceiling fan could have the original blades and a new motor and remote control unit.
An antique brass ceiling fan could have the original frame and a new set of blades and a light. This can make it possible to keep older ceiling fans and have them keeping operating.
Which is Cheaper
Generally the replicas of antique ceiling fans will be cheaper than rebuilds of real antiques. Modern manufacturing makes it cheaper to make replicas than rebuild older fans. The older fans will have to be torn down and rebuilt by expert craftsmen.
The newer fans are cheaper because they are usually built upon an assembly line. It is possible to order both replicas and rebuilt fans on line. It should also be possible to get an older fan rebuilt by sending it to a rebuilder. The rebuilders will refurbish the fan by adding modern components.
