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

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.

French Empire style wall lights typically draw inspiration from Classical antiquity, featuring symmetrical forms, architectural proportions, and gilded metal construction. Common motifs include torches, quivers, laurels, and musical elements such as hunting horns or lyres.

Fixtures from this era were primarily cast from solid brass or bronze, often finished with gilt or Ormolu techniques to achieve a rich golden surface. Candle arms and backplates were hand-chased to produce sharp relief detail and textured surface patterns.

Authentic pieces feature heavy cast construction, hand-finished chasing along the edges, and natural wear or subtle oxidisation within the recessed areas of the gilding. Mechanical joints and mounting plates on vintage pieces also show signs of historical hand-assembly rather than modern mass production.

Positioning pairs of gilt brass sconces alongside artwork, flanking a hallway mirror, or mounting them in alcoves introduces structural symmetry and warm metallic tones. The golden finish provides visual contrast when set against modern matte paint colors or dark moody walls.

Dust the fixtures regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or a clean soft-bristled brush to reach recessed relief details. Avoid using harsh chemical polishes, abrasive creams, or solvent cleaners, as these will wear away the delicate gilded finish.
