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 glass features specific prismatic ribs designed by engineers in the late 19th century to efficiently refract and diffuse light while reducing glare. The name derives from Greek roots meaning to make complete or to shine throughout.

Authentic period pendant lights typically combine moulded prismatic glass shades with brass, bronze, or iron fitter hardware and braided fabric-covered electrical flex.

Authentic pieces often feature faint maker marks or patent stamps embossed into the glass rim, heavier glass weight with precise prismatic patterns, and natural ageing on the metal galleries.

These fixtures work well when suspended over kitchen islands, dining tables, or reading spaces to provide functional task illumination while adding industrial texture and historic character.

Wash the glass gently in warm soapy water using a soft cloth, avoiding abrasive pads or harsh chemical cleaners that can scratch the vintage surface or damage metal fixings.
