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.

French Empire lighting originated in the early nineteenth century under Napoleon Bonaparte. It is defined by Neoclassical architectural symmetry, heavy contrast between dark ebonised or patinated metals and bright gilt bronze or brass, and classical motifs such as palmettes, acanthus leaves, and victory wreaths.

Authentic Empire chandeliers were typically constructed using cast brass or bronze (ormolu) paired with dark patinated iron or bronze. Detail fittings frequently utilised hand-chased metals, candle sleeves made of card or painted plaster, and cast decorative chain links.

Look for hand-chased metal castings, original patinated finishes showing natural wear, and irregular thread patterns on screws. Classical iconography like pineapple finials, swan necks, or acanthus crowns combined with a central dark bowl or dish are hallmark signs of this style.

An Empire chandelier works well as a focal point suspended above a dining table, within a formal foyer, or in a high-ceilinged drawing room. Pairing its strong Neoclassical silhouette with neutral walls or contemporary furniture creates a balanced, layered interior scheme.

Dust regularly using a dry, soft microfibre cloth or horsehair brush. Avoid abrasive metal polishes or chemical cleaners, as these strip away original patination and gilded lacquers; electrical wiring should be routinely inspected and updated by a qualified electrician.
