This Victorian king size bed originates from around 1900 and follows a traditional Irish design. The frame is constructed from wrought iron, cast iron, and brass, and is hand-painted in a cream shade with a dark wax finish. The high arched headboard features curved tubular iron work, an oval reed strip pattern held by metal clamps, and a central brass badge decorated with leaf motifs. Turned iron feet support the structure, which includes a low footboard rail. The frame measures 126 cm high, 154 cm wide, and 206 cm deep, and accommodates a standard king size mattress. Suitable for a master bedroom in a country house setting, the bed provides a sturdy sleeping solution. The open design of the low footboard helps maintain an airy feel in the room, while the neutral cream paint finish coordinates with various interior colour schemes. Solid wood slats support the mattress base, ensuring everyday practicality alongside decorative appeal.

FAQs

Victorian iron and brass bedsteads originated in the mid-to-late 19th century as a hygienic, durable alternative to traditional wooden bed frames.

These bedsteads feature tubular wrought or cast iron framework combined with decorative cast brass joints, finials, or central badges.

Authentic pieces feature cast-iron corner dovetail joints, hand-turned brass fittings, and heavy solid iron construction rather than lightweight modern tubular steel.

Pair the metal frame with layered neutral linens, textured throws, and natural timber nightstands to balance the metallic structure with soft interior elements.

Dust the ironwork regularly with a soft cloth and polish the brass details with a specialised metal cleaner while avoiding abrasive chemical solvents.
