A large skyscraper table lamp by Belgo Chrom with polished chromed metal and brushed brass finish on the stem and base c.1970’s. The shade is original but does require replacement. The lamp has been re wired with gold flex to NZ standards retaining the original brass pull cords which give two light settings. Some wear commensurate with age.
Belgo Chrom was established by the De Wulf family and initially based in Gavere, Belgium. In 1984, the company relocated to Deinze, near Ghent. Belgo Chrom offered a diverse range of products, including complete dining room sets (tables, chairs, etc.), various display cases, dressers, specialized hi-fi racks, and an assortment of accessories such as lamps and mirrors, primarily crafted from metal. Until 2002, the company maintained a showroom at the Trade Mart located on the Heysel Plateau in the northern part of Brussels, a site historically significant for hosting the 1935 Brussels International Exposition and Expo 58. At its peak, Belgo Chrom employed around 70 people. Unfortunately, the company declared bankruptcy in 2011.
