During the Industrial Revolution, innovations in manufacturing enabled artisans to create furniture from cast iron. The Heritage fan incorporates many of the design details featured in antique castings, including vertical ribbing on its motor housing, raised type on the switch cap, and a custom cobblestone texture on the fan body, cap and inset portions of the blade medallions. Designed with stainless steel hardware to withstand the elements, this wet-rated ceiling fan is an ideal addition to any areas exposed directly to weather like your large patio or pergola.
