This Victorian king size bed dates from 1900 and is made from cast iron and wrought iron, finished in Obsidian Green by Little Greene with a protective wax coating to give a soft sheen. The tubular frame includes an arched headboard with concentric circles, oval shaping from iron reed strip, cast iron rosettes, and a low footboard with round ball feet. The construction has been fully restored, shot blasted, primed, hand painted, and tested for durability with all joints checked for a secure fit. The dimensions measure 124 cm high, 153 cm wide, and 203 cm deep. Suitable for use in a bedroom, this piece accommodates a standard king size mattress and includes wood slats. The low footboard design makes it a practical choice for smaller rooms or bedrooms with a view, adding a rustic farmhouse style to the interior.

FAQs

Irish iron bedsteads from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries typically feature decorative cast iron joints, arched tubular frames, and low or absent footboards designed for compact spaces or modern mattress proportions.

These bedsteads were constructed using wrought iron tubing joined by decorative cast iron collars, often poured directly over the iron frame during casting to ensure structural rigidity.

Authentic pieces display hand-poured cast iron details, heavy metal tubing, original side rail locking dovetails, and subtle surface variations consistent with age rather than uniform modern manufacturing.

Pair the dark metal frame with crisp white linen bedding, textured wool throws, and neutral timber bedside tables to balance the industrial metalwork with soft, tactile elements.

Clean the metalwork with a soft, dry cloth and apply a microcrystalline wax or beeswax polish periodically to protect against oxidisation and moisture damage.
