A brief history of the wall light
The wall light descends from medieval "light arms," torches fixed to 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, an indispensable technical trick to double the candle's glow by simple reflection. In the 18th century, it moved from passageways to reception rooms, adorned with bronze and crystal to become a true staging instrument. Its wall-mounted position then allowed it to highlight woodwork and architectural reliefs, creating shadow play impossible to achieve with central lighting.
