A 48-inch rotational ceiling fan from Matthews Fans, designed for covered outdoor spaces like patios, porches, and sunrooms, finished in black nickel with solid mahogany wood blades.
The Ar Ruthiane is a sculptural centerpiece that rethinks the ceiling fan. Its hourglass support arms hold bullet-shaped motor housings that rotate around a teardrop center, letting you direct airflow exactly where you need it. The black nickel finish and rich mahogany blades give it a contemporary, transitional look that stands out in any room. Handmade in Brazil and assembled in the USA, this fan is built to last with a limited lifetime warranty.
