FAQs

A French iron bedstead is a metal bed frame manufactured in France during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, characterised by decorative ironwork and ornamental brass accents.

These beds were constructed using tubular cast or wrought iron for the main frame and spindles, enhanced with decorative cast brass details, rosettes, and central motifs.

Authentic pieces feature heavy iron castings, hand-fitted frame joints, original brass embellishments, and metric dimensions that typically differ from modern standard mattress sizes.

Pair the frame with crisp white linen bedding, neutral colour palettes, and layered natural textures to create a relaxed French Chateau aesthetic within contemporary bedrooms.

Wipe the metal frame with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoid abrasive chemical cleaners, and apply a light microcrystalline wax to protect against oxidisation.
