Don't go to an antiques restorer he will not be able to do this legally for the same reason you cannot legally sell second hand electrical equipment at a boot-fair.
If the wiring is in reasonably condition ie not coroded, & just has blk/wht. colours then why not over sleeve them brn/blu. and if fitting is metal then ensure an earth wire is connected effectively to the metalwork and of course to the circuits earth.
As you will be running the light[s] at half original current wires will be large enough and a simple IR test will confirm quality of insulation, am I missing something here as I can't see a problem??
