Here's my first acquisition for 2017. Last month I got this very cute and classic style polished brass Styling spinner on my recent trip to northern France. I love polished brass ventless spinner even if they are newer and lesser in quality. I got it mostly for the look. I've been wanting one like this for a while and especially in this larger size instead of always 90 cm. The smaller ones tend to come with a single light whereas the larger ones with three tulip lights. This one was on Le Bon Coin since last winter and has been posted many times. I finally decided to get it.
It's in very good condition and all complete with the original shades, decoratives pull chains and mounting bracket which is not a generic one. The brass is not tarnished much. The bearings have a little sound to them on high speeds but spins very freely. It's my first fan with plastic pull chains. It's seems to be the lightest fan in my collection at only about 2,3 kgs without the blades and shades.
Last summer I posted in my sightings a demo of a newer one I saw at Leroy-Merlin branded Inspire but already at that time it was discontinued. The demo have just not been removed yet. The one I got is an older version with classic canopy and the newer version had a more contemporary stepped canopy. Other than that this was not changed much since the mid 2000's. I would have liked to get a brand new one from the store but in a way I'm glad I got an older one. I prefer the classic canopy on theses and this one is in amazing condition.
Here it is in motion. I showed it with clear 19 watts halogen teardrop light bulbs.
