This French Country double bed is a 1900 Portuguese forged iron piece designed in a French Chateau style. The sturdy metal frame is finished in off-white aged Little Green hammock paint with touches of theatre red, then waxed for preservation. The arched headboard displays iron curves, scrollwork, a shell motif, and a cast floral central detail, whilst the foot end is low-profile. The bed measures 144 cm high, 138 cm wide, and 195 cm deep, accommodating a standard double mattress. Ideal for placement in a smaller bedroom or a room with a view, it supports wood slats or a platform top to serve as a practical centrepiece for daily sleeping arrangements.

FAQs

Forged iron double beds originated in the 19th century as a hygienic, durable alternative to wooden bedsteads, featuring hand-crafted scrollwork and structural metal framing.

Traditional metal bedsteads were constructed using hand-hammered wrought or forged iron components, often joined with cast iron corner cleats and decorative hand-poured metal mouldings.

Authentic antique iron beds feature heavy solid metal tubing or bars, hand-poured cast joint fittings, slight irregularities in scroll symmetry, and original cast slot-rail joinery.

A low-end or footboard-less iron bed allows maximum visual space, making it ideal for layering with textured linens, draped throws, and positioning against patterned wallpaper or lime-washed walls.

Clean the painted metal surface with a soft dry cloth to prevent moisture accumulation, and apply clear microcrystalline wax to any exposed metal areas to prevent rust and oxidation.
