This Hampton Bay landmark plus has been in our kitchen since summer of 2006. It was actually a replacement of a previous fan, which was an AB Harbor Breeze Pulsar (Hunter Low Profile knockoff). I'm looking to replace it somewhat soon as the motor has started humming. and I would like something more powerful in there, but not something that would blow my grandmother away. I would like to keep the same trend going with having a 52" antique brass fan, either 4,5, or 6 blades. They blades have to be oak to match the cabinets. Nothing too old, maybe mid 80s at the oldest. I'm thinking of something along the lines of the spinner motor Hunter variety, like a summer breeze or passport II. What are your thoughts/recommendations? Here are some pics of my kitchen. Note that the blades and brackets are not original to the fan.    |

IDK I'd recommend a Delta II or Panama in Antique Brass w/ Walnut 21" blades, either 4 or 5, IT, of course. Or maybe a Hunter Passport I or II, Silent Breeze I or II, or Summer Breeze in Antique Brass. All are good fans, as you know already (:

I forgot to mention that it has to be 3 or 4 speed pullchain, since we have 4 way wall switches in that kitchen, and vincent, walnut blades won't match the oak cabinets  |

I have to say that they are very powerful, and you will be ok with one of them in your kitchen,

Go with Medium Oak blades, then. A Delta II 3 or 4-speed would be nice. As would the other fans I've mentioned, except the Panama.

Delta is actually not a bad idea.

It's hard to find an AB fan anymore, Oil-Rubbed Bronze is the new AB.If you have to go new, I'd suggest the Hampton Bay Lyndhurst in Flemish Brass. I have a White one in my vacation home, and it's silent and moves a lot of air. And for $80, not a bad deal. (:

I'm feeling Delta II, classic look without looking overly dated. No new fans, definitely would not suit a kitchen like that AT ALL, it'd totally stick out and scream NEW!

Yeah, agreed. I'd put a nice, traditional K4S or similar with leaded crystal glass (a Casa classic, used in adverts from the 80s for Casa) on it because it wouldn't stick out too, too much, yet is a good fan and would not scream NEW.
