This Victorian style king size four poster bedstead dates from 1900 and is constructed from iron and steel finished in a pewter grey hand paint with dark wax and buffing. The design incorporates slender corner posts topped with round brass finials, an arched headboard featuring vertical iron spindles and detailed floral castings, side rails standing 36.5 cm high, and simple rounded feet. Fully restored for modern practicality, the frame measures 191.5 cm high, 159 cm wide, and 217 cm deep. Suitable for standard king size mattresses, this lower profile four poster offers grandeur for rooms with lower ceilings such as cottages and attic spaces, while also suiting larger bedrooms where drapery can be added to the top rails to create a cosy sleeping area. Wood slats support the mattress base, providing a sturdy and comfortable setting within a traditional or country house interior.

FAQs

Four poster beds originated in the medieval period, featuring four vertical corner posts designed to support a wooden canopy and fabric drapes for insulation and privacy.

Traditional metal bedsteads are constructed using cast iron components, wrought iron spindles, or hollow steel tubing joined by cast metal corner joints.

Authentic period metal beds feature cast iron corner joints, hand-carved brass or iron finials, and original lug fitting connection systems rather than modern threaded bolts.

A metal four poster bed can be styled with crisp neutral linens, layered woven throws, and minimal surrounding decor to highlight the clean vertical lines of the frame.

Metal frames should be wiped down periodically with a soft microfiber cloth and polished with microcrystalline wax to prevent oxidisation and preserve the surface finish.
