Electric fan - I.202 - Bakelite, Metal, Plastic - Model I.202

It is a joy to the eye to behold this superb example of a desk fan by Ercole Marelli, model I. 202. The body and base are made of heavy metal painted in cream color, while the blades are brown Bakelite. The cord and plug, which bear the factory logo clearly, are original. Despite its age, it presents itself as new and fully functional. This desk model, of fairly compact dimensions, was produced in 1951; it operates at a single speed, non-oscillating, but manually tiltable. An iconic piece of mid-century modernism, it reflects the taste of the era and embodies historical value along with a robust and functional design. The Ercole Marelli brand, for decades a leader in the production of fans and climate conditioning equipment, is a guarantee of excellence. We invite you now to study the gallery photos carefully so you can appreciate the quality of the offered piece. The excellent state of conservation is particularly evident upon examination of the details—the control panel, cord and plug, but especially the paper label affixed under the base, still pristine. The base itself, free of any signs of abrasion or wear, leads us to believe it has never been used. We trust that these features, together with the sober and solid beauty of the design, will appeal to both experienced collectors and lovers of beauty and quality Made in Italy.
