The Hampton Bay Antigua fan is a very popular style that was developed some time back to capture the look and feel of the tropics. It does this quite well by using colors, materials and shapes that are commonly associated with the islands, such as bright and tarnished brass and most notably the exceptionally broad fan blades that are perfectly hand carved in the shape of banana leaves.
You just can't miss this design aspect because there are five of them and with their most popular size measuring in at 56 inches, “that's a lot of leaf”. Even so, there are a few well placed, somewhat more subtle design features on this particular fan that's also available in 44 inches that work to capture the look and feel of the ocean front in the tropics.
Vanilla Toned Blades & Flemish Brass Finish
For instance the hand painted alabaster bowl appears to be held up by three brass leaves wrapped underneath it. Also all of its color choices for the fans, the brass and fittings fit the tropical theme and come in a wide number of variations. You'll have no trouble finding the color and feature option combination that you have in mind.
Cherrywood Blades & Oil Rubbed Bronze Finish
At around $250, the Hampton Bay Antigua Fan is considered about mid-range in price as ceiling fans go in general. Also if you're doing your own installation, do keep in mind that a fan of this size and weight with this many components is going to be substantially more difficult to install than, say a more compact cheaper fan with only three blades.
