Chen Lien Chong Office Furniture of Old Shanghai

Getting that old Shanghai office furniture thing just right….you need Chen Lien Chong for all your needs from safes and vaults (hey, it’s a high crime city!) to, as you can see here, a rather nice blackwood Captain’s Chair. A small mystery is the office address – I don’t know a Peninig Road, either in the pre-war road names or the post-war (the variius changes between 1943 and 1949) – but there was a Penang Road (now Anyuan Road) and the ‘Eastern’ end would have been up towards the Suzhou Creek. Their factory was on Honan Road (Henan Road now) and if anyomne knows where Kun Luen Road was (or was previously called pre-war) do let me know.
