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.

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. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
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.

Louis XVI style lighting emerged in 18th-century France, characterized by neoclassical symmetry, straight lines, and motifs inspired by Greco-Roman antiquity. Fixtures typically feature ribbons, laurels, fluting, urns, and musical or hunting instruments rendered in cast metal.

French wall sconces from the neoclassical period were primarily constructed from cast bronze or brass, which was often gilded using mercury fire-gilding (ormolu) or cold-lacquered brass techniques to achieve an enduring metallic sheen.

Authentic period pieces show evidence of hand-chasing, minor hand-drilled thread irregularities, and natural oxidisation in recessed areas. The reverse of the backplate often displays unpolished raw cast metal with hand-finished tool marks.

A single sconce functions effectively as an accent light in narrow wall spaces, beside an entryway mirror, or within a reading alcove. Mixing historical brass lighting with modern minimalist backdrops highlights the sculptural quality of the metalwork.

Gilded brass should be dusted regularly with a soft, dry lint-free cloth. Abrasive polishes and chemical cleaners must be avoided, as they strip the original gilding and protective patination from the cast surface.
