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

The Empire style emerged in France during the early 19th century under Napoleon Bonaparte, drawing heavy inspiration from the classical art and architecture of ancient Rome and Greece. Lighting fixtures from this era typically feature symmetrical proportions, architectural motifs, and formal classical ornamentation.

Traditional construction methods involve cast bronze, ormolu, and brass components, often paired with patinated dark metal elements or crystal drops. Metalwork was frequently cast, chased, and fire-gilded by skilled metal artisans.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-chased metal details, heavy cast bronze construction rather than stamped sheet metal, and assembly using traditional threaded screws or tapered pins rather than modern machine fasteners.

Pairing a formal classical light fixture with minimalist modern furnishings creates a striking contrast that highlights the architectural craftsmanship of the piece. Hanging the fixture within a neutral-toned room allows the metallic finish and sculptural silhouette to serve as a focal point.

Dust the fixture gently with a soft microfibre cloth and avoid using harsh chemical polishes that can strip away the historical patina. Electrical components should be periodically inspected by a qualified professional to ensure safety compliance.
