Well I finished one of those lamps in high chrome effect powder yesterday... and it was, quite frankly, rubbish!
Those chrome effect coatings are fine for candy finishes (like the Raleigh Eighteen I did recently), but no good on their own.
Never mind; I've got oodles of lamps and an entire spectrum of coloured powders to throw at them. Including, a silver hammered finish, which
@raleighnut quite rightly identifies as the authentic aesthetic.
It's a bit off topic I know, but I've also picked up a couple of cool retro torches ('flashlights' for our colonial cousins); a Pifco Superbeam and an Ever Ready Space Beam. They're made largely of pressed steel, and should freshen up a treat.
