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

Opaline glass is an opaque or semi-translucent glass that can be found in white and various pastel colours, gaining significant popularity during the 19th and early 20th centuries for decorative and utilitarian lighting.

These fixtures typically combine blown opaline or milk glass shades with metal components such as brass, iron, or copper fitments, often suspended by link chains or twisted fabric-covered flex.

Authentic pieces often exhibit slight bubbles, uneven thickness, or striations within the glass due to period manufacturing techniques, alongside period-appropriate metal oxidisation and wiring components.

The clean white aesthetic and diffused illumination make these lights versatile for contemporary schemes, pairing well with minimalist kitchens, industrial dining spaces, or transitional hallways.

Clean glass shades using mild soapy water and a soft cloth, avoiding abrasive chemicals that could damage the surface, while metal elements should be dusted gently without removing desirable age patina.
