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

The French Empire style emerged in the early 19th century during the rule of Napoleon, characterised by neoclassical motifs, symmetry, military triumphs, and classical Roman and Greek influences.

These fixtures are typically crafted from cast brass or bronze, frequently featuring fire-gilding (ormolu), finely chased details, and occasionally patinated bronze elements.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-chased surface details, traditional casting flaws, period-appropriate fixings, and natural ageing or oxidisation of the metal rather than uniform modern finishes.

Mount them flanking a fireplace, mirror, or architectural doorway to introduce symmetrical warmth, mixing period metallic finishes with modern neutral walls for contrast.

Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh chemical polishes that can strip the historic patina or damage any applied gilding.
