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

This French chateau chandelier dates from 1930 and follows a traditional French style. Fabricated from gilt bronze and brass, the piece exhibits a bright gold finish across its components. The structure comprises a central baluster column with ornate acanthus leaf details, terminating in a decorative lower finial and suspended by a link chain. Five scrolling rococo style arms extend outward, supporting white candle sleeves and matching drip pans fitted with clear candle-bulb fixings. The fixture measures 36 cm high, 41 cm wide, and 41 cm deep. Suitable for interior lighting applications, the chandelier suspends from ceilings in principal living spaces, dining rooms, or hallways to provide ambient illumination. Fully rewired with safety testing completed, the assembly includes standard ceiling fixings for installation. The design accommodates E14 candle-bulb fittings with a maximum capacity of 25W per bulb, allowing compatibility with both modern LED units and traditional incandescent alternatives.

FAQs

French gilt bronze chandeliers are defined by ornate cast bronze frames treated with gold leaf or fire-gilding. They frequently feature elaborate Rococo or Neoclassical motifs such as scrollwork, acanthus leaves, and stylized candle sleeves.

Traditional gilt bronze fixtures were created using sand or lost-wax casting methods to shape intricate bronze or brass arms and central columns. Gold leaf or mercury amalgam was applied to the surface before components were hand-chased and assembled using threaded metal fittings.

Authentic period fixtures typically display evidence of hand-casting, including subtle asymmetry, visible tool marks, and non-standard thread pitches on screws. Genuine surface wear and natural oxidisation on recessed areas also help distinguish period items from modern reproductions.

An antique gilt chandelier functions as a central focal point when installed above a dining table, in a hallway, or within a high-ceilinged living room. Juxtaposing the detailed metalwork against neutral wall tones and minimalist contemporary furniture highlights its architectural form.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth or delicate brush to prevent buildup in detailed carving. Avoid liquid polished, water, or chemical solvents, which can strip historic gilding and cause irreversible surface damage.
