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 a type of semi-translucent glass that gained immense popularity during the 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly in the Art Deco and Edwardian eras, valued for its milky appearance and soft light diffusion.

These fixtures typically feature blown opaline glass shades suspended by metal fitters made from brass, bronze, copper, or painted iron, often hung using linked chains or twisted braided cables.

Authentic pieces often exhibit minor hand-blown imperfections such as tiny air bubbles, slight surface waviness, and polished pontil marks, alongside aged patination on the metal components.

Vintage milk glass pendants provide neutral illumination that complements various aesthetics, working effectively as task lighting over kitchen islands or as ambient lighting in hallways and living spaces.

Clean opaline glass gently using lukewarm water and mild dish soap with a soft cloth, avoiding abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the surface finish or aged metal hardware.
