Matthews Fans Irene-3 52in 3-Blade Ceiling Fan | Contemporary Matte Black and Barn Wood | Bedroom & Living Room | 52 x 52 x 12 in | Model IR3-BK-BW-52

A 52-inch three-blade ceiling fan from Matthews Fans, designed for larger bedrooms, dining rooms, and standard living rooms, with a matte black motor housing and solid barn wood blades.

The Irene-3 is a study in contrasts: rustic, solid wood blades meet a sleek, globe-shaped matte black body. The result is a fan that feels both modern and warm, a signature piece that anchors a room without overwhelming it. Matthews Fan Company has been crafting premium ceiling fans since 1992, and the Irene-3 shows why—whisper-quiet DC motor, hand-finished materials, and a design that works in contemporary and transitional spaces alike.

Best for

• Covered outdoor areas like patios, porches, or sunrooms—rated for damp locations
• Bathrooms without direct water exposure, thanks to the damp-rated construction
