A beautifully styled piece of mid-century European industrial design, this heavy desk fan was manufactured in Milan, Italy, by the renowned Ercole Marelli company. Featuring the distinct model ARCE data plate on its polished aluminum base, this 13-inch tall machine showcases a striking aerodynamic silhouette paired with a classic brass blade and wire cage configuration. The fan remains in its completely original, untouched European 220V specification and retains its vintage two-prong plug, making it a spectacular mechanical sculpture for a modern office, studio, or high-end design collection. This item is offered as-is for decorative display or restoration, showing genuine antique character including an oxidized patina on the brass components, a slightly lopsided cage with visible historic weld repairs, and a missing internal base weight bolt that does not affect its solid shelf display.
