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

Montgolfier lighting fixtures are characterised by their distinctive hot air balloon shape, featuring tiered cascades of cut crystal drops suspended on a wire or brass frame, inspired by the pioneering balloon ascents of the late 18th century.

These fixtures typically incorporate cast bronze or brass frames, hand-cut glass or lead crystal beads and pendeloques, and wire frameworks designed to support intricate draping.

Authentication involves examining the metal casting quality, the presence of hand-cut rather than machine-pressed crystal with natural inclusions, traditional pin or wire fixings, and signs of age-appropriate oxidisation on the metal components.

They can be used to introduce texture and reflective glamour to a scheme, often mounted flanking a fireplace, mirror, or bed to provide layered ambient lighting in both traditional and contemporary settings.

Regular maintenance requires gentle dusting with a soft microfibre cloth. For deeper cleaning, components should be washed individually using a mild solution of warm water and professional glass cleaner, ensuring the power is disconnected before handling.
