Vintage tole chandelier -- rewiring?

I purchased a vintage toleware chandelier this weekend. I was so excited to find it!

It has 2 wires. They are marked 105 C F.M.V. Milano. There does not seem to be a ground. How do I know if it needs to be rewired? I don't know the age, but it is very similar to this:

Thanks for your help!
