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

French hall lanterns originated as functional street and carriage lighting before being adapted for interior vestibules and hallways during the 18th and 19th centuries, often featuring refined metalwork and glass panes to maximise candle or gas illumination.

Authentic period lanterns are typically constructed from cast or stamped brass, bronze, or gilt metal frames soldered or screwed together, housing hand-cut bevelled or curved glass panels.

Authenticity is indicated by heavy gauge metal, natural oxidisation and patina, hand-cut glass with minor imperfections, traditional slotted screw fixings, and period-appropriate wiring or conversion ports.

Hanging a metallic pendant light in an entryway or above a staircase adds architectural contrast, blending classical heritage with contemporary minimalist or maximalist design schemes.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth and avoid harsh chemical polishes or abrasive cleaners, which can strip the protective gilt layer or historic patina from the metal.
