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 Revival chandelier belongs to the 1930 period and works as a five-light hanging fixture. The metal construction has a gold gilt brass finish throughout. Decorative details include acanthus leaf carvings, scrolled arms, candle sleeves, a central turned column, and an ornate ceiling canopy. The structure holds five candle-style bulb sockets mounted on curved branches. The wiring is fully renewed and PAT tested, ready for installation with ceiling fixings. Measurements span 38 cm high, 54 cm wide, and 54 cm deep, with a total drop of 62 cm including the chain. Placement suits a dining room, living room, or hallway in a traditional interior setting. The fixture accommodates E14 candle bulbs up to 25W, operating with either incandescent or modern LED alternatives. Aged screws and fittings accompany the body for secure mounting. The design draws on French chateau aesthetics, offering an ornate overhead lighting solution with visible cast detailing and classic motifs.

Traditional French gilt brass chandeliers feature cast brass components finished with gilding or protective lacquer, designed in ornate styles such as Louis XV or Rococo Revival with scrolling arms and botanical acanthus leaf motifs.

These light fittings were cast using sand or lost-wax metal casting techniques, after which individual components like central shafts, ceiling roses, and scrolled branches were hand-chased and threaded together.

Authentic period examples display signs of hand-casting such as subtle surface variations, threaded assembly rather than modern spot welds, age-appropriate oxidisation, and internal wiring channels adapted for early electrification.

A French brass chandelier serves as an architectural focal point when suspended above a dining space or hung in a high-ceiling entry hallway, complementing neutral wall tones and simple modern furniture.

Dust gilt brass regularly with a soft dry microfibre cloth or light feather duster to preserve the finish, avoiding liquid chemical cleaners, water, or abrasive polishes that can wear away original gilding.
