Were these lights originally electrified?

Almost all pieces dating before the twentieth century were designed exclusively for candles, oil or wax illumination. Wiring is typically a later addition, threaded carefully through the structure to adapt historic fixtures for modern electrical standards.

How do I distinguish Florentine style?

Florentine pieces frequently incorporate scrolling foliage, carved leaves and delicate arm configurations finished in bright gold or silver leaf. They often reflect revival aesthetics from the early twentieth century inspired by earlier Renaissance and Baroque traditions.

Can heavy wall lights hang safely?

Large carved wooden fixtures require secure anchoring into solid wall studs or appropriate masonry fixings due to their substantial weight. Professional installation is recommended to support the combined mass of the timber, gesso and metal components securely.
