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

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

A French birdcage chandelier is a ceiling fixture featuring a skeletal, openwork metal frame shaped like a cage around a central axis. Popularised in 18th-century France, these lights are draped with faceted glass or crystal drops designed to disperse light throughout grand spaces.

Traditional birdcage chandeliers utilise cast brass, gilded bronze, or wrought iron for the structural frame. The decorative elements consist of lead crystal or moulded glass pendeloques, rosettes, and central drops held together with hand-bent metal pins.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut glass or crystal prisms with subtle variations in facet size and hand-formed wire connectors. The metal framework typically displays hand-chased details, natural surface oxidisation, and evidence of historical conversion from wax candles to electricity.

This type of light fixture acts as a focal point when positioned above a contemporary dining table or suspended in an entryway. The open framework ensures light passes through, maintaining visual balance alongside clean-lined modern furniture.

Dust the frame and crystal drops regularly using a dry microfibre cloth. Individual crystal elements can be wiped with a slightly dampened cloth using water and isopropyl alcohol, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that could strip original gilding or patination.
