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

A French birdcage chandelier features an open central frame constructed from curved metal scrolls resembling a cage, designed to allow light to disperse unobstructed while showcasing hanging crystal prisms and central glass elements.

Traditional French chandeliers from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries were constructed using hand-worked gilt bronze, brass, or iron frames adorned with mouth-blown glass or cut lead crystal pendeloques and rosettes.

Authentic pieces often feature hand-cut faceted crystal prisms with slight irregularities, hand-chased metal armature, aged gilded finishes exhibiting natural patina, and historic candle sockets or early electrical conversion wiring.

In contemporary spaces, hanging a birdcage chandelier above a minimalist dining table or within a high-ceilinged entrance hall creates a focal contrast between historic architectural detail and modern clean lines.

Dust the fixture regularly using a soft feather duster or dry microfibre cloth, and clean individual crystal drops with a mild solution of isopropyl alcohol and distilled water, avoiding harsh chemicals on gilded metal surfaces.
