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 lighting was patented in the late 19th century, designed specifically to maximise and distribute light evenly using scientific prismatic glass ribs. These lights became staple fixtures in factories, schools, and commercial buildings during the industrial era.

Authentic period pieces typically feature heavy-moulded prismatic borosilicate or soda-lime glass shades paired with brass, bronze, or iron fitments and galleries.

Authentic shades usually feature the characteristic embossed Holophane brand name, patent numbers, or specific prismatic ribbing designed to refract light precisely without glare.

These versatile fixtures bridge industrial and classic aesthetics, making them suitable for task lighting over kitchen islands, dining tables, or hallways when paired with warm filament LED bulbs.

Glass shades can be washed gently with warm soapy water and dried with a lint-free cloth, while metal fitments should be dusted carefully without using harsh chemical abrasives that strip aged patina.
