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

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Mid-20th-century French gilt chandeliers often drew inspiration from nature, incorporating botanical motifs such as palm leaves, acanthus, and floral forms. Crafted during the post-war period and popularised by design houses in Paris, these light fixtures combined traditional gilding techniques with theatrical, Hollywood Regency-influenced aesthetics.

These ceiling lights are typically constructed from wrought iron, steel, or brass, which is hand-shaped into foliage and scrolling arms. The surface is finished with gold leaf or metallic gilt paint, complemented by candle sleeves made from card or resin to house the electrical lamp fittings.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut or stamped metal foliage with layered construction and visible solder or joinery points. Look for natural patination and gentle wear to the gilding, particularly on raised edges, along with historical wiring components that may have been updated to modern standards.

A French gilt chandelier works effectively as a focal point in an entryway, bedroom, or above a dining table. Its warm metallic tones contrast well against contemporary matte wall finishes, bridging traditional elegance with modern minimalist interiors.

Dust the metal foliage regularly using a soft, dry feather duster or microfiber cloth. Avoid using water, liquid cleaners, or abrasive polishes, as these can strip or discolour the delicate gilded finish, and ensure all electrical safety checks are performed by a qualified electrician.
