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

Dust the glass gently with a soft microfibre cloth and clean periodically using a mild, non-abrasive glass cleaner applied to the cloth rather than directly to the fixture, taking care around aged metal wiring and fittings.

An antique plafonnier serves as a striking focal point in entrance halls, living rooms, or bedrooms, pairing effectively with both minimalist modern furnishings and eclectic vintage interiors to add warm illumination and historic character.

Authentic pieces often exhibit period-specific geometric or stylised natural motifs, heavy pressed glass construction, and maker signatures or foundry marks characteristic of French glassworks from the interwar period.

These fixtures typically utilised pressed, moulded, or frosted glass, often featuring amber, opalescent, or clear finishes, supported by metal mounts made from brass, bronze, or wrought iron.

A plafonnier is a ceiling-mounted or suspended bowl-shaped glass light fixture that sits close to the ceiling, widely popularised during the Art Deco movement in France during the 1920s and 1930s.
