Welcome to Antique Supply Company, with 30 years of antique fan experience, we have established ourselves as the go-to destination for antique electric fan enthusiasts, designers, collectors, and historians looking for the perfect antique fan that fits all their needs.
Circa 1908 56" Western Electric "Hawthorn" 4 Blade "Sidewinder" Ceiling Fan. Manufactured by Westinghouse and sold to Western Electric who marked it under their brand "Hawthorn". In 1908-09 time frame, Westinghouse offered a newly designed ceiling fan very unique to the market. Today this fan has earned the nickname "sidewinder" due its unique mounting position of the blades and motor design. Unlike the stereotypical ceiling fan design, the outside housing of this fan rotates thus the attachment of the blades being mounted on the outer circumference of the motors housing. Boasting its stunning original Copper Oxide finish, complemented by meticulously restored internal components this is a very unique offering for this model. Internally, this fan has been restored by John Andrews at Texas Ceiling Fans. John is a legend in the Antique Ceiling Fan world and we feel fortunate to offer a fan with such credentials. Externally the original finish has been cleaned and preserved to last another 100 years. Blades on this example are made from quarter sawn oak making an excellent compliment to the rich original copper oxide finish. Original switch is still present, we recommend this being controlled using a modern wall rheostat which will be supplied with purchase. This is the smoothest and quietest running example of this fan design you will find and is ready for the next 100 years.
Width: 56"
Approximate Depth (bottom of downrod to switch): 7"
