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

Holophane is a brand and type of scientific prismatic glass lighting developed in the late 19th century, designed to efficiently diffuse and refract light while reducing glare.

Authentic period Holophane lights typically feature moulded prismatic glass shades paired with brass, bronze, or iron galleries and fittings.

Original pieces often feature characteristic embossed makers marks or patent numbers on the glass rim, distinct prismatic ribs, and heavy cast metal galleries.

These fixtures work well as task lighting above kitchen islands or dining tables, contrasting effectively against contemporary minimalist or traditional schemes.

Glass shades should be washed gently in warm soapy water using a soft cloth, while unlacquered brass components should be dusted carefully to preserve their natural patina.
