This is my second Emerson fan, and I love the quality, the functionality, the design and the simplicity for transition of mixed styles in a kitchen/living area.  I always go for the dark bronze because deep black is too stark for me.  It is close to a vintage etagere that is black, and they both look the same in tone.  This fan is a really classy design that could go anywhere.  And I have one with a light feature outside on a terrace.  This fan is also for wet or damp weather.  Look closely for a little line detail in the crevices of the metal.  Simple, but a solid fan at high speed!
