AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare vintage Marelli table fan, entirely made of metal and characterized by an extremely robust and heavy construction. An interesting example of Italian industrial design from the 20th century, ideal for collectors and enthusiasts of vintage technical objects and industrial decor.
The fan features a large metal protective cage, three wide metal blades, a cylindrical motor housing, adjustable supports and a solid metal base. The characteristic Marelli nameplate is present on the front, while the original identification plate can be seen on the rear.
Style: Industrial, Italian vintage
Period: Mid-20th century, approximately 1940s–1960s
Manufacturer: Marelli
Material: Metal
Colour: Original cream/beige finish
Type: Table fan
The piece retains a beautiful original aged patina, with numerous signs of age and use, including scratches, abrasions, areas of paint loss, surface oxidation and other imperfections that reflect its history. The overall condition can be clearly seen in the photographs.
A particularly notable feature is the considerable weight and solidity of the construction, typical of vintage Marelli fans. The large metal base provides good stability.
The fan is still working and operates very quietly. Due to its age, however, it is recommended that the electrical system be checked by a qualified professional before continuous use.
Some imperfections and damage are visible on the rear part of the motor housing, as shown in the photographs. The electrical cable also shows signs consistent with its age.
An authentic example of Italian industrial design, perfect for an antique garage, workshop, studio, loft, vintage shop or private collection.
The photographs accurately show the object and its condition and should be considered an integral part of the description.
