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

FAQs

French crystal chandeliers gained prominence during the 17th and 18th centuries in royal palaces and chateaux, evolving from simple wooden frames to elaborate gilded bronze and brass structures adorned with lead crystal prisms designed to maximise candlelight reflection.

Dust the fixture regularly with a feather duster and clean individual crystal prisms carefully using a mild solution of warm water and isopropyl alcohol, wiping them dry with a lint-free cloth while ensuring the power is completely disconnected.

A traditional crystal chandelier provides a striking focal point when contrasted against minimalist modern architecture, sleek neutral walls, or rustic wooden ceilings, bringing a layer of historic texture and ambient illumination to the space.

Authentic pieces often feature hand-cut crystal with minor natural imperfections, pinned glass drops rather than modern plastic connectors, cast brass components with aged patination, and hand-wired electrical conversions or original candle sockets.

Traditional construction typically involves a cast brass or bronze metal frame, often with a gilt finish, combined with hand-cut glass or lead crystal prisms, droplets, and central spindles held together by wire or pins.
