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 originated in France during the early 19th century under Napoleon, drawing heavy inspiration from the classical aesthetics of ancient Rome, Greece, and Egypt. It is characterised by symmetrical designs, monumental proportions, and symbolic motifs such as wreaths, palmettes, and classical figures.

Traditional French chandeliers from the 18th and 19th centuries were predominantly constructed using cast and chased bronze, ormolu (gilt bronze), brass, and wrought iron. Cut glass crystals and hand-blown glass components were frequently integrated to enhance light reflection.

Authentic period pieces typically exhibit hand-chased metalwork with subtle tool marks, heavy gauge bronze or brass construction, and period-correct wiring or remnants of candle sockets. Older components are joined using traditional fasteners like hand-cut screws or pins rather than modern Phillips-head screws.

Integrating an antique chandelier into a modern interior creates a striking focal point through high-contrast design. Placing a classical metallic fixture within a minimalist or neutral space adds architectural depth, warmth, and a curated historical layer.

Antique metal fixtures should be dusted gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth to prevent the accumulation of abrasive particles. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, commercial brass dips, or excessive moisture, which can strip historic patinas or damage delicate surface finishes.
