    Buying an antique hanging light fixture with original wiring

    I am hoping to buy an antique (1929) plafonnier or hanging light fixture. It has not been rewired since it was first made and, despite living in France for over 40 years, I don't have the faintest idea where I could get it rewired and the equivalent of PAT tested. Can anyone advise me please?
