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

French hanging lanterns trace their origins to street lighting and grand vestibules of the 18th and 19th centuries, later evolving into decorative interior fixtures for halls and stairways.

These fixtures are typically constructed using cast and stamped brass frameworks fitted with bevelled or cut glass panels, often assembled with soldered joints and mechanical fasteners.

Authenticity is indicated by heavy gauge cast brass components, hand-cut or mouth-blown glass panels with natural imperfections, period-appropriate wiring methods, and natural oxidisation of the metal.

Such lanterns work effectively as focal points in entrance halls, stairwells, or kitchens, blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary minimalist surroundings to create textural contrast.

Maintenance requires gentle dusting with a soft cloth and avoiding abrasive chemical cleaners that strip the historical patina, ensuring electrical components are inspected periodically by a qualified professional.
