this is one of the most beautiful and unique ceiling fans I've ever seen!
For someone that doesn't really like dark wood (me) and white just looks
wrong in some cases, this is the perfect color.  It's like a dark 'champagne'
color.  Not gold and not silver.  A very neutral color.  And the design is great.
The light (which is very subdued but beautiful) is above the blades, which is
wonderful.  I couldn't be happier with this and it was well worth the price.
