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 gilt brass wall lights, often referred to as appliques, gained prominence during the 18th and 19th centuries, reflecting the ornate styles of the Louis periods and later Belle Epoque designs, originally crafted to hold candles before being adapted for electricity.

These fixtures are typically constructed from cast or stamped brass, finished with a layer of gold gilt or Ormolu. Traditional construction involves hand-chased detailing and soldered joints attaching the drip pans and arms to the backplate.

Authentic period pieces often show age-appropriate wear to the gilding, hand-finished chasing details rather than machine-moulded uniformity, and historical screw heads or wiring channels that indicate older manufacturing methods.

Mounting antique wall lights flanking a mirror, fireplace, or headboard adds layered ambient lighting and historic contrast, effectively softening modern architectural lines with metallic warmth.

Clean gilt brass gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid harsh chemical polishes or abrasive cleaners, which can strip away the delicate gold gilt finish.
