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 hall lanterns gained prominence in the 19th and early 20th centuries, traditionally used in grand entrance halls and corridors to provide welcoming illumination through glass panels set within decorative metal frames.

These fixtures are typically constructed from cast or spun brass components joined with soldered or mechanical joints, featuring curved or flat glass panes secured by metal bezels and suspension chains.

Authentic pieces often exhibit period casting techniques, hand-formed glass with natural imperfections, traditional wiring components where applicable, and genuine oxidation or patina consistent with age.

These versatile fixtures work well as statement pieces in entrance hallways, above kitchen islands, or within dining spaces to introduce metallic warmth and classic architectural character.

Clean the glass with a mild glass cleaner and dust the brass gently with a soft, dry cloth, avoiding abrasive polishes that can strip away the authentic aged patina.
