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

Wheat sheaf motifs became popular in French decorative arts during the 18th century, symbolising abundance and agricultural prosperity, and were later revived during the mid-20th century in gilt metal artisan pieces.

These fixtures are typically constructed from forged iron, brass, or toleware, which is then hand-gilded with gold leaf or painted to achieve a metallic lustre.

Authentic pieces often feature hand-soldered joints, patinated gilding with signs of age, heavy-gauge metal construction, and traditional wiring components replaced for modern safety compliance.

A sculptural gilt fixture adds organic warmth and textural contrast when hung above a minimalist dining table or within a neutral room to create a sophisticated focal point.

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials that can strip or damage the delicate gold leaf finish.
