Wall lights were not common in the past. However, in rooms with high ceilings, such as in community buildings, there could be many wall lights.
However, they were rarely seen in homes. The exception was bedside lamps in bourgeois homes and on the larger farms. Sometimes there were also wall lamps in the farm offices. Bedside lamps were also found in old boarding houses and hotels.
The model for our lamp comes from a farm in Dalarna. The original is probably made in the 1910s. The material is black iron and the workmanship of very high quality.

Standard dimensions for kerosene lamps were established in the mid-19th century and were based on the size of the kerosene burner. Measurements are given in lines and line measurements are counted in 1/12 inch. Thus, 1 line equals 1/12″ (inch). The line number is determined in proportion to the brightness of the lamp and the higher the line number the higher the luminous intensity.
