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 plafonnier is a ceiling-mounted or tightly suspended bowl light fixture, often crafted in France from carved natural alabaster and complemented by cast brass or gilt bronze mounts.

Authentic period pieces are constructed from natural quarried alabaster stone, which features unique mineral veining, paired with structural components made from cast brass, bronze, or gilt metal.

Authenticity is identified through the weight and cold-to-the-touch nature of genuine stone, natural translucency showing distinct veining under light, hand-chased metal mounts, and period-appropriate wiring or screw fittings.

These fixtures serve as sculptural focal points in modern spaces, contrasting effectively against minimalist white ceilings while adding organic warmth through amber stone tones and metallic finishes.

Alabaster is porous and water-sensitive; it should be dusted gently with a dry microfiber cloth and never exposed to harsh chemical cleaners. Brass elements can be wiped carefully with a soft cloth to maintain their natural oxidisation.
