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.

French gilt brass wall lights, often referred to as appliques, gained prominence during the 17th and 18th centuries in grand European estates and chateaux, reflecting elaborate decorative movements such as Baroque and Rococo.

These fixtures are typically constructed from cast or stamped brass, which is then chemically or electroplated with gold gilt to achieve a rich metallic finish, often featuring hand-chased detailing.

Authenticity is identified through construction hallmarks such as heavy casting, hand-filed joints, patination consistent with age, and historical wiring methods or thread types prior to modern standardisation.

Pairing ornate metallic wall sconces with minimalist modern decor creates a striking juxtaposition, often used flanking a fireplace, mirror, or headboard to add layered illumination and warmth.

Gilt brass should be cleaned strictly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth to remove dust; harsh chemical polishes must be avoided as they can strip away the delicate gold layer.
