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

A birdcage chandelier features a skeletal framework resembling a birdcage, often decorated with scrolling metalwork and drops. This distinctive silhouette became prominent during the 18th century and experienced revivals throughout the Victorian and Edwardian periods.

These pieces are typically constructed from cast bronze or brass that has been fire-gilt or chemically plated to achieve a golden surface. Frames are assembled using mechanical joints, screws, or brazing, often featuring hand-chased surface details.

Authentic pieces exhibit signs of age such as oxidation patination on the metal, hand-cut components, and period-appropriate wiring or threaded fasteners. Examination under magnification often reveals casting flaws and tool marks consistent with historical manufacturing techniques.

Pairing a highly decorative antique fixture with clean architectural lines and neutral modern finishes creates a balanced focal point. The contrast between historical craftsmanship and minimalist surroundings enhances the visual impact of the piece.

Maintenance requires gentle dusting with a soft, dry microfibre cloth to prevent the accumulation of particulates. Chemical cleaners and abrasive polishes should be avoided to protect the fragile gilt surface and preserve the historic patina.
