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.

Gilt brass wall lights trace their origins to 17th and 18th-century European interior design, frequently associated with French chateau and salon architecture where reflective metal enhanced candlelight.

These fixtures are typically constructed using cast brass, often finished with fire-gilding or ormolu techniques to impart a durable metallic sheen.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit hand-chased detailing, period-appropriate fastener types, natural oxidisation in recessed areas, and heavy, solid brass casting rather than lightweight modern alloys.

They can be positioned flanking a mirror, above a fireplace, or along a hallway to introduce classical texture and warm metallic contrast to modern spaces.

Preservation requires gentle dusting with a soft, dry cloth. Chemical polishes and abrasive cleaners must be avoided to prevent stripping the historic gilt surface layer.
