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

Edwardian metal bed frames typically feature a combination of painted wrought or cast iron tubular frames with polished brass top rails and finials. Dip-rail designs incorporate gentle downward curves along the top horizontal bars of both the headboard and footboard.

These beds were constructed using heavy cast or wrought iron for the structural framework, vertical spindles, and joints. Decorative elements, such as top rails, collars, and corner finials, were crafted from solid brass.

Original pieces display cast-iron corner joints with dovetail or drop-in side rail connectors rather than modern bolts. Threaded brass finials, subtle variations in metal casting, and authentic oxidisation on unpolished brass sections also indicate period origin.

Balance the structured dark metal framework with textured neutral linens, crisp white bedding, and soft wool blankets. The open spindle construction allows natural light to pass through, making it suitable for both compact and spacious bedroom layouts.

Dust the frame regularly with a dry microfibre cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners on painted iron to prevent paint loss or rust formation, and gently polish brass components using specialized metal cream applied with a soft cloth.
