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

Putti and cherub motifs gained widespread popularity during the Renaissance and were heavily revived during the 19th century in French neoclassical and baroque interior ornamentation, often symbolising divine presence or playful mythology.

These fixtures were traditionally cast using the lost-wax method in bronze or brass, frequently paired with hand-cut lead crystal prisms and fitted with hand-wired electrical components during later restorations.

Authenticity is determined by evaluating the weight and patina of the metal casting, the presence of hand-chipped or moulded crystal prisms with appropriate wear, and the construction methods used on the internal fitter parts.

A figural pendant light serves as a focal point in rooms with high ceilings, contrasting effectively against minimalist contemporary finishes or complementing classic period architecture with rich textures.

Bronze components should be dusted gently with a soft microfibre cloth without harsh chemical polishes to preserve the aged patina, while crystal drops can be cleaned carefully with mild soapy water and dried immediately.
