Calcutta / Tara Ceiling Fan

[Adam D.]

I've decided to make it's own thread from here.. I'm not sure if I should redo the finish or leave it.. It's nicked up pretty bad.. I may have it professionally powder coated, seeing how they will probably be able to get the finish color right on spot.. I can probably get the dent out with the mallet for the most part.. Was able to get blades thanks to Jeremy having a spare set.. I will most likely leave the brass finish on the brakets seeing how most likely the original blades were brass or AB, I may leave the bottom nut or possibly find another that's brass to match.. Found a rubber grommet that fits some what, so looks like I'll be able to have this fan complete right down to the screws.. What does everyone thing.. Leave the dark brown finish or get it redone?

I'd fix it up, personally speaking. I for one really doesn't see what good original condition is if it's all beat up. If it were a more interesting finish or combo I might feel differently, but brown is brown as far as I'm concerned.

Also, side note. How did I never pay attention to the fact that this label was from Corbett Lighting?!

I dont know Corbett Lighting?

I would clean it up and leave it. I think once you do so it will look find. Maybe touch it up with some matching brown paint.

What Dan said.

That's easier said than done.. If the I can find a brown that's exactly the same color tone, than ya, a touch up would be more appropriate, but then again some sides may look glossier than others... A nice powder coat will make it look brand new..

Walmart has a brown in the craft section that is very, very close.

I can only assume it's the same Corbett Lighting that still exists in showroom lighting, they've been around over 40 years so it sounds about right. I've known the name for a long time, but I never put two and two together until now, since I've been expanding my interest more into lighting.

I did a search on that name, and I got something in California.. Not sure if it's the same one...
