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.

Gilded bronze, often referred to as ormolu when mercury gilt, gained immense popularity in French royal and aristocratic residences during the 17th and 18th centuries, serving both functional illumination and decorative status.

Traditional pieces are typically cast in bronze using the lost-wax method, then hand-chased to refine details before being fire-gilded or electro-gilt to achieve a durable metallic finish.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit hand-chasing marks, weight indicative of solid bronze rather than plated base metals, appropriate historical casting techniques, and natural oxidisation appropriate to their age.

Pairing ornate antique sconces with minimalist walls creates a sophisticated contrast, allowing the historical craftsmanship to serve as sculptural art while providing warm, layered ambient lighting.

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive polishes that can strip the delicate historic gilt finish.
