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, trace their origins to the ornate lighting traditions of the 17th and 18th centuries in France. These fixtures were designed for salons and chateaux, using candlelight or later electrification to reflect luxury and sophistication.

These fixtures are typically constructed from cast or stamped brass that has been heavily gilded or treated with an ormolu finish. Artisans employed detailed moulding, chasing, and hand-finishing techniques to achieve intricate botanical and scrollwork motifs.

Authentic pieces usually display signs of age such as a natural patina on the brass, hand-cut components, and traditional wiring or screw fittings on the backplate. Closer inspection often reveals casting imperfections and tool marks consistent with period manufacturing methods.

Integrating antique lighting into a modern space creates a balanced, layered aesthetic by contrasting sleek contemporary surfaces with historical texture. Placing them symmetrically flanking a mirror, fireplace, or headboard draws the eye upward and adds warm, ambient illumination.

Gilt brass should be cleaned sparingly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth to remove dust. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, abrasive polishes, or excessive moisture, as these can strip or damage the delicate gilded finish.
