Shot blasted and primed prior to hand paint finish in Little Greene’s Nether Red with touches of Knightsbridge, lightly dark waxed to protect, shine and give a gentle tonal variation throughout the bed.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Victorian and Edwardian iron beds typically feature cast or wrought iron tubing joined by decorative cast-metal collars or medallions. Irish variants often displayed simplified, sweeping geometric or organic scrollwork within the headboard and footboard design.

These bedsteads were constructed using wrought iron rods or tubular iron frames connected by poured-iron decorative joints. They usually feature heavy dovetail joints on the side rails that slot into corner brackets on the headboard and footboard posts.

Authentic antique iron beds feature heavy cast iron joints or collars that are integral to the metal frame rather than modern welds. Look for maker stamps on the corner cast brackets and traditional drop-in dovetail fittings.

Combine the metal frame with soft linen bedding, textured wool throws, and neutral wall colours to create contrast against the dark or painted ironwork. Pairing the structured frame with modern bedside tables balances classic and contemporary elements.

Clean the painted metal surfaces using a soft, dry cloth or a slightly damp microfibre cloth to remove dust. Avoid abrasive chemicals that could strip historic paint or expose raw iron to moisture, which causes oxidisation.
