Dealers Notes

"Heritage Quality Without the High Street Mark-up"

Hodgson Antiques (www.hodgsonantiques.co.uk) has been in the antique trade and dealing independently since 2012. Based in Derbyshire countryside operating solely online, we specialise in antique and vintage lighting, table lamps, ceiling lights, chandeliers, wall lights and lanterns together with some selectively sourced decorative items. We source items from around the UK, Europe and the rest of the world.

We believe that acquiring exceptional, fully restored period lighting shouldn't require paying premium high-street showroom prices. By operating entirely online and focusing our resources into our own dedicated restoration workshop, we have completely reimagined the traditional antique gallery model. We have a significant structural pricing advantage over traditional brick-and-mortar storefronts, which enables us to offer the exact high quality and meticulous restoration you find in the high street showrooms – delivered directly from our workshop at transparent competitive trade prices passing substantial savings onto our customers.

All our antique lights are fully overhauled, professionally cleaned, rewired and PAT tested to UK standards ready for installation. They are supplied with period-style matching aged fixing brass screws, fittings.

Our lighting is safely wrapped in heavy-duty protective packaging and dispatched the next day via premium tracked courier within mainland UK (delivery charge applies at checkout). As an independent workshop, we highly appreciate direct bank transfers (BACS). If you prefer to pay directly via bank transfer, we will happily waive the delivery fee as a thank you. Please contact us directly via the email link or phone number below before clicking 'Buy Now' to receive your free shipping invoice

The French Empire style draws heavily on neoclassical motifs inspired by ancient Greece and Rome, characterised by symmetrical proportions, military triumphs, and symbols of imperial power such as eagles, sphinxes, and classical urns.

Authentic period pieces were typically constructed from cast and chased bronze, often featuring fire-gilding known as ormolu, combined with patinated black bronze, brass components, and sometimes marble bases.

Authentication involves examining the weight and quality of the metal casting, checking for hand-chasing details rather than machine smoothness, inspecting old wiring methods or component construction, and verifying natural wear patterns in the patination.

This lamp serves as a striking focal point when placed on a dark wood sideboard, mahogany writing desk, or mantelpiece, contrasting effectively against minimalist backdrops or anchoring a traditional gentlemans study theme.

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding any abrasive cleaners, harsh chemical polishes, or water, as these can strip the original patina and delicate gilding from the metal surface.
