While the idea of the fan predates early Egypt, the successful use of fans came into existence in the factories of the Industrial Revolution. In the heat of summer afternoons, factory workers came up with the idea of attaching wooden or metal spoons to the oscillating structures above them, which powered the factory machinery.

With Edison’s introduction of electrical power, the idea took on its own momentum. By the late 1920s, no self-respecting restaurant, drug store, ice cream shop, elegant dining room, or even "speakeasy" was without a ceiling fan as part of its decor and ventilating system.

What began as large, clunky, loud machines, today are quiet, sleek, cooling and ventilating appliances. At Art Lighting Gallery, we offer sleek and sophisticated ceiling and wall fans at affordable prices. From contemporary stainless steel fans - to handmade avant-garde glass fans - to combinations of fans and lighting - Art Lighting Gallery offers an array of traditional to exotic products.

With multiple oscillating speeds, our high quality fans produce optimal airflow throughout your home.
