Extremely rare General Electric company England art deco dual sided partners desk fan. Overall the physical condition is very good for its age, it could use a good polishing, and the frame has some spots where it is slightly bent. 1 blade is missing 1 small nut for the tiny screws holding the blade on, this should be easy to find at a hardware store. I want to reiterate, there is a difference in frequency and voltage between American and European appliances, and especially antique European appliances were not made to run on American power outlets, so I can not guarantee that it will work here or be responsible for damage caused to the motor by using converters. Fan measures approx 18.5″ tall 13″ wide and 7.5 deep. Please ask any questions prior to purchasing.

An exceptional and highly collectible specimen of early 20th-century European industrial engineering, this rare double-sided “partners fan” was manufactured in Holland by E. Utrecht (Elektrotechnische Mechanische Industrie). Specifically designed to sit in the center of a shared desk to cool two professionals simultaneously, this heavy cast iron dual-headed fan boasts a striking Art Deco silhouette featuring opposing original brass blades and dual protective cages. Serving as a premier mechanical sculpture, this scarcity commands attention and makes an elite statement piece for an industrial loft, executive office, or advanced antique collection. I believe it is a 220v motor but may work on 120v as well. I have not tested not electrically, but mechanically everything seems to be fine. The item is offered in authentic antique condition showing expected cosmetic wear throughout, including minor surface scuffs, enamel loss on the cast iron base, and a rich, natural dark oxidation patina across the brass components that beautifully validates its nearly century-old history.

Up for grabs is a good and working example of The Wooflie Bird lamp, an iconoclastic icon of the Art Deco period, designed by pioneering lighting designer Walter Von Nessen for the Miller Lamp Co in 1929 only. The lamp’s many classic Art Deco features have been combined with unusually whimsical and fantastical elements that set it apart from its contemporaries. The lamp, also referred to as the Peacock lamp, is 10″h x 9.5″ w x 7 d and is made of enameled brass and glass. It was produced in three different color combinations and marketed to be used in babies’ nurseries, children’s bedrooms and in “boudoirs” as accent pieces. Its Art Deco shapes were amplified by the bold use of colors and light. The bulb is half-hidden at the back and positioned so that when it’s on it reflects light off the Woolfie’s fanned polychrome enameled yellow tail and causes its faceted glass eyes to glow. There’s a working on/off switch on the base. Von Nessen was a great innovator in lighting design whose life and career was too extensive to summarize here, but a Google search will yield some fascinating facts. The lamp is working well. It displays beautifully, despite the loss of some paint to several areas, especially the back of the tail, whoverall effectich is normally not visible when the lamp is displayed. The edges of the round base are also affected but I don’t think any of it detracts from the overall effect. Of course, that will be for you to decide. Please look closely at all the photos for specific condition info, and feel free to message me with any questions. I didn’t realize I took a couple of shots while the cord was wrapped around the base of the lamp. I apologize for the sloppiness that caused.
