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 gilt brass and ormolu chandeliers gained immense popularity during the 18th and 19th centuries, reflecting the ornate styles of the Louis XIV, XV, and XVI periods. These fixtures were traditionally crafted in workshops across France, utilising cast brass finished with mercury gilding or modern electroplating to achieve a brilliant, luxurious sheen.

Authentic period chandeliers are typically constructed from cast brass, bronze, or spelter, often finished with a gilt or ormolu coating. Components are individually cast, chased, and assembled using traditional threaded screws or pins, supporting candle-form sleeves and wired configurations added during later restorations.

Authenticity is determined by examining the casting quality, weight, patination, and construction hardware. Hand-filed joints, heavy solid brass components, patination appropriate to age, and threaded hand-cut screws rather than modern Phillips-head fasteners typically indicate older craftsmanship.

A classic gilt brass chandelier adds a layer of historic contrast and elegance when suspended above a dining table, in a high-ceilinged hallway, or contrasted against minimalist, neutral modern decor. Dimmer switches are recommended to recreate the soft, ambient glow of traditional candlelight.

Preservation requires dusting gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid abrasive chemical cleaners or polishes that can strip the delicate gilt or lacquered finish, and consult a qualified electrician to inspect vintage wiring periodically.
