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 wall lights, or appliques, have been used since the 17th century, evolving from candle holders to sophisticated gas and electric fixtures during the 19th and 20th centuries, often featuring classical or rococo motifs.

Traditional pieces are typically constructed from cast bronze, brass, or spelter, finished with hand-applied gold leaf or gilt bronze, known as ormolu, often assembled from multiple cast components.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-chased detailing, patination consistent with age, traditional joining methods such as threaded screws or pins, and period-appropriate wiring if updated.

They can be integrated as statement accent lighting in living rooms, hallways, or bedrooms, contrasting effectively against contemporary neutral walls to add architectural depth.

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and avoid chemical cleaners or abrasive polishes, which can strip the delicate gold leaf or gilt finish.
