Ceiling Fan Tip: Over the past several years, bronze finishes have taken over the furnishings industry. The Bronze Ceiling Fan is no exception. There is now a wide variety of bronze tone finishes for ceiling fans, and every brand does them a little differntly and gives them different names. However, the most commonly used bronze finish would be oil rubbed bronze, which is quite popular in the lighting industry as well. So several of our fan manufacturers now make oil rubbed bronze ceiling fans as well as weathered bronze, burnished bronze, distressed bronzse and more. We have also included some other less bronzy finishes that do not seem to fit into any other category but are extremely popular. Sterling Walnut and Tuscan Patina are two of the most popular and look fantastic on ceiling fans that have small ornate details. The beauty of bronze is that you do not need to worry if the bronze finish of your ceiling fan matches the bronze finish of your chandelier or lamp (or whatever else). Bronze is elegant by nature and a variety of bronze tones can be used together when furnishing a room.
