Width: 23 cm Height: 38 cm A little history of the wall light The wall light descends from the medieval "arms of light," those torches fixed to the walls to illuminate corridors without obstructing passage. Long before electricity, it was a marvel of ingenuity: it often incorporated a mirror or polished metal plate at the back, a technical trick essential for doubling the candle's glow through simple reflection. In the 18th century, it moved from passageways to reception rooms, adorned with bronze and crystal to become a true instrument of staging. Its wall position then highlighted woodwork and architectural reliefs, creating shadow plays impossible to achieve with central lighting.
