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

FAQs

The Louis XVI style is characterised by a return to classical symmetry, straight lines, and neoclassical motifs such as acanthus leaves and urns, moving away from the elaborate asymmetry of the preceding Rococo period.

Authentic period lanterns are typically constructed from cast or gilt bronze (ormolu) or brass, paired with hand-blown or heavy bevelled cut glass panels housed in a metal frame.

Authenticity is indicated by heavy, solid metal construction, patination consistent with age, hand-cut glass with minor imperfections, and traditional threaded assembly screws rather than modern machine fixings.

Hanging such a fixture in a high-ceilinged hallway or above a compact dining space adds a layer of historic contrast, pairing polished metal and glass against minimalist architectural backgrounds.

Dust metal components gently with a dry microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical polishes that can strip the gilt layer, and clean glass panels with a mild glass cleaner applied to a cloth rather than sprayed directly.
