Review: Hunter 1912 Mission Ceiling Fans
As part of Hunter’s 19th century, throwback designs, the 1912 Mission fan certainly elicits feelings of an antique look that compliments traditional design. The housing is a rich brushed bronze that blends nicely with most muted tones. The lamp in the center covers the motor encasing with a hexagonal shade that reminds one of a weathered gas-light lantern, enhancing the antique motif.
The five fan blades offer a sharp contemporary contrast to the traditional housing and lamp. The blades feature crisp corners and a tapered shape designed to improve airflow. Each blade is reversible, offering a deep-brown walnut finish on one side and a deep cherry finish on the other. The walnut finish blends in with the dark housing while the cherry offers a brighter design element. The blades span 38 to 52 inches and offer respectable circulation at top speed, powered by a quiet motor.
Hunter offers accessories, such as wall remote kits, wall switches, and even a matching vaulted ceiling mount for the 1912 Mission. The housing and lamp are sold as-is in no other finishes, so the fan is not for every room, but Hunter has provided a unique design element that works well in traditional spaces with darkly colored themes.
