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 Rococo chandelier dates from 1930 and is made of gilt bronze in a gold colour, styled in the French Chateau aesthetic. The piece incorporates six lights arranged on curved support arms decorated with acanthus leaf scrolls, fitted with white candle sleeves and glass bulbs, and centred around an ornate baluster stem suspended from a link chain. Additional visible elements include leaf-shaped bripets under each bulb holder, ornate scrolling details along the central column, and a cast finial hanging from the lower hub. The chandelier measures 43 cm high, 54 cm wide, and 54 cm deep, with a total drop of 71 cm including the chain and ceiling plate. The fully rewired and PAT-tested lighting fixture comes ready for immediate installation with ceiling fixings, accepting six E14 candle bulbs up to 25W each. It suits placement as a central overhead light source in a dining room, living room, hallway, or bedroom, bringing a classical decorative element to both traditional and contemporary interiors.

FAQs

A French gilt bronze chandelier is a multi-armed hanging light fixture cast in bronze and finished with gold gilding or ormolu techniques. Originating predominantly during the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries, these lighting fixtures are characterised by classical, Rococo, or Empire ornamentation, including acanthus leaves and scrolling arms.

These fixtures were cast using bronze, a durable alloy of copper and tin. The metal was subsequently covered with thin coats of gold using fire-gilding (ormolu) or electroplating techniques, occasionally fitted with ceramic or wooden candle sleeves and brass chain links.

Authentic period pieces exhibit sharp, hand-chased casting details, visible casting seams, and uneven wear or tarnish on the gilded surface. Genuine items often feature heavy cast bronze components with threaded iron or brass rods and hand-cut screws rather than modern uniform hardware.

Suspend the light fitting above a dining table, in a high-ceilinged entrance hall, or above a central living space to create a focal point. Combining gilded metalwork with minimalist, contemporary furnishings allows the detailed metalwork to contrast cleanly against neutral walls.

Dust the surfaces regularly using a dry, soft-bristled brush or microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive chemical cleaners, polishes, or water, as these substances can strip historical gilding or accelerate oxidisation of the underlying metalwork.
