Since Queen Victoria reigned for nearly 80 years, there were many
decorating styles that can all be called "Victorian". Victorian lighting could be very plain and simple, or ornate. This is true for the wall brackets , or Victorian wall sconces , too. Close to the end of the 19th
century, when electric lights were new, many were transitional
(gas & electric on one fixture). Victorian lighting and Edwardian light bulbs were not high wattage,
so it was essential to supplement room light with Victorian wall sconces , or
"brackets". Although Edward reigned soon after
the turn of the century, for interior design purposes, most use the
term "Victorian" up to World War I.
