A 16-inch directional ceiling fan from Matthews Fans, finished in Esmeralda with solid mahogany wood blades, designed for small spaces and targeted airflow in living rooms and bedrooms.
The Jarold Directional ceiling fan is a unique and versatile piece, with a fan head that can be infinitely positioned in a 180-degree arc, forward and reverse, to provide maximum, directional airflow. It can be hung in small, awkward spaces or in front of HVAC ducts to make heating, ventilation, or air conditioning more efficient. Handmade in Brazil and assembled in the USA, this fan features a cast aluminum and steel construction with genuine marbleized Bakelite accents and solid Brazilian mahogany blades.
