Emerson Electric Company of St. Louis, MO .,
U.S.A., 10" Silver Swan Imperial Vintage Desk Pedestal Fan
The Emerson Electric Company introduced the Silver
Swan at the height of the Depression in 1934. Its
creation is an interesting story in itself. Joe
Newman, an Emerson board member who was soon to take
Emerson's helm, challenged a St.Louis interior
designer named Jane Evans with designing a modern desk
fan that would depart conventional desk fan design.
The result was one of the most beautiful, yet
functional fans ever manufactured.
The Silver Swan embodies the graceful elegance that
its name implies, while its engineering is premium
quality Emerson Electric of the 1930s. Emerson
described the fan best in period literature. They
simply called it "aristocratic".
