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 gimbal lamp features a pivoted support designed to keep the light level despite the movement of a vessel at sea. Originally manufactured during the 19th and early 20th centuries, these fixtures served as essential maritime fittings valued for their stability and mechanical design.

Traditional gimbal lamps were crafted predominantly from solid cast or spun brass to withstand corrosive marine environments. Heavy cast metal bases and counterweighted mechanisms were used to ensure smooth pivoting and stability.

Authentic pieces frequently display maker stamps or serial numbers near the base or pivot joint, along with heavy cast brass construction rather than lightweight plated metal. Original bayonet sockets, weighted counterbalances, and historical hand-machined details also indicate age.

Position the lamp on an office desk, library shelf, or console table to act as a functional focal point. Its warm metallic finish provides strong contrast when paired with dark wood furniture or muted contemporary wall shades.

Dust the brass casing regularly using a clean, dry microfibre cloth to protect the metal finish and patina. Avoid harsh chemical solvents or abrasive polishes, and ensure electrical components are periodically inspected by a certified electrician.
