Antique hanging light

Navarre, FL(Zone 8b)

I bought this light at an antique store in Pensacola, Florida last year. I was told it was hand carved from France. It did have some really old style wiring I'm not familiar with. I had to rewire it and install new light fixtures to make it functional. I installed new lights in the top of the lighthouse and the 3 in their hands. I found the old looking cloth covered wire that was similar to what was in their, online at a place in New York. I was told it was from around World War 1 era. Does anyone know anything else to add? Each boat has a different name on it.
