Are you tired of staring up at boring ceiling fans?

In my past trips to the hardware store and online shopping for ceiling fans, I’ve seen more than a few that fit into this category. I’m not saying that there is something wrong about getting a basic ceiling fan, but if you have the budget, why not get one that’s also lovely to look at, considering you might find yourself looking at it often?

Tiffany ceiling fans, in particular, are very beautiful pieces. They not only provide ventilation, natural cooling and heating, which is the main function of ceiling fans, but they also add charm to any room because of their ornate craftsmanship.

Just what are Tiffany-style ceiling fans? These are fans that are fitted with Tiffany ceiling lights, which have a stained glass cover. In some cases, the ceiling fan motor itself is housed in stained glass, making it look more attractive.

Tiffany ceiling lamps are named after Louis Comfort Tiffany, the son of the famous New York-based jewelry store founder Charles Tiffany and an Art Noveau designer famous for his stained glass creations.

Today, there are only few of the original lamps, which were individually crafted up to the 1930s, in existence, all of which are expensive collectibles sold in auctions. There are, however, a lot of affordable Tiffany-style stained glass lamps available, in a wide variety of styles, which are the ones used as ceiling fan light fixtures.

Here are some of the most popular Tiffany ceiling fans on the market:

Hunter 54″ 1912 Mission

This ceiling fan from the renowned Hunter fan company has an octagon-shaped iridiscent amber stained glass motor housing, which is elegant and nostalgic but not too fancy, and five 54″ blades available in dark cherry or dark walnut finish. It uses Hunter’s innovative WhisperWind motor, which ensures ultra-quiet performance and comes with a three-speed pull chain. Flush, standard and angled mounting options available.

Litex 52″ Coquillage

This is one of the bestselling Litex fans, which is available in an aged bronze finish, with five reversible golden maple or mahogany blades. What makes it even more beautiful is that it comes with a Tiffany-style bowl light that can accommodate three bulbs, and it comes with a remote control, too. It can be installed with or without a downrod.

Ellington 54″ Manchester

The 54-inch Manchester is part of Ellington’s Classic collection, a timeless piece with a stained glass housing in hues of cream, caramel and amethyst. Both the fan and the five blades sport an aged bronze finish that add to its Victorian flair, and the package includes both a remote control and wall control for modern convenience.

Meyda Tiffany 52″ Amber Dragonfly Ceiling Fan

This is one of the most exquisite Tiffany ceiling fans available, with a bowl light crafted in Tiffany Studios’ well-loved hanging head dragonfly design in a mixture of amber, emerald and scarlet shades. The fan itself has an antique brass finish and a three-speed reversible motor, along with oak and walnut reversible blades.
