The old visible circuits and switches (mostly unsafe by today's
standards) could be used to carry low voltage, currently-limited
circuits (considered safe) for lighting control. The power-carrying
circuits could be hidden behind the walls.
I'm not sure how much of the old wiring (tube and bobbin) would be
considered attractive or contributing to a decor unless you were
trying to recreate a scene from a Booth cartoon. That isn't
generally what I think of when I think of historic preservation.
Maybe the Priggster would like to weigh in on this...
Let's see, antique wiring without the electricity--that wouldn't
recreate all of the dangers of the old stuff. Nah, not a very
realistic recreation...
