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 gilt brass lighting fixtures gained prominence during the 18th and 19th centuries, drawing influence from Rococo and Neoclassical design movements. These pieces were traditionally crafted for grand salons and chateaux, reflecting the intricate metalwork techniques of the period.

Authentic pieces are typically constructed from cast or forged brass that is subsequently gilded, often using fire-gilding or ormolu techniques. The arms and backplates are frequently assembled with threaded screws or pins rather than modern welds.

Authentication involves examining the casting quality, patination, and tool marks on the reverse. Older pieces generally exhibit consistent wear patterns, hand-cut threading, and traditional mounting fixings rather than mass-produced uniformity.

These pieces can be mounted flanking a fireplace, mirror, or bed to introduce traditional character and warm metallic tones. Pairing them with simple lampshades or exposed candle bulbs bridges historical craftsmanship with contemporary design.

Preservation requires gentle dusting with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, abrasive polishes, or moisture, as these can strip the delicate gilding and alter the natural oxidisation.
