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

French gilt brass and crystal wall sconces trace their origins to the 17th and 18th centuries, evolving from functional candleholders used in royal chateaux and salons to ornate decorative fixtures that maximised candlelight through the use of cut crystal prisms.

These fixtures are typically constructed using cast brass that is subsequently fire-gilded or chemically gilt to achieve a golden finish, complemented by hand-cut lead crystal drops and pendants wired or pinned with delicate brass wire.

Authentic pieces often exhibit hand-chased detailing on the brass castings, natural surface oxidisation consistent with age, pinned rather than modern soldered crystal attachments, and heavy, high-lead content crystal drops with hand-polished facets.

Pairing ornate metallic wall sconces with contemporary minimalist walls creates a sophisticated contrast, making them ideal for flanking a fireplace, framing a large mirror, or adding layered ambient lighting to a hallway.

Dust crystal prisms regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and clean gently with a dilute solution of mild dish soap and warm water, avoiding harsh chemical brass cleaners that can strip the delicate gilt finish.
