Beautifully Ornate Maple & Co All Brass Super King Bed

19th century
For Sale by Bedsteads
Description

* Reduced to reflect 20% Sale on our own Website *

An incredibly attractive all brass super-King-sized bed by Maple & Co. of London. Stunning configuration of brass creates the lovely foot end panel, which features two detailed brass rings with concentric circle design. This concentric circle design is caried through the rest of the bed and can be seen on the cross-section joints. Similar brass furrowed detailing can be found in the middle of the uprights and the posts. Lovely Brass finials, all secure and in good condition.

The bed has a gorgeous patina which we have cleaned and highlighted. It catches the light beautifully whilst still respects the age of this stunning bed.

Professionally restored with all joints checked for a solid and secure fit. The side rails have been adapted to be able to take slats or a bed base. Whole frame has been cleaned, tightened and restored to ensure full working order and sturdiness.

Maple & Co. of Tottenham Court Road, London, was a British furniture and upholstery manufacturer established in 1841 which became one of the most fashionable brands in Victorian and Edwardian Britain. The company became one of the prime makers and suppliers of furniture to the aristocracy and royalty in both the United Kingdom and around the world.

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.
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.
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.

Victorian brass beds gained prominence in the late nineteenth century due to hygiene advancements and metal casting innovations, replacing traditional wooden frames. These designs typically feature decorative turned spindles, heavy cast finials, and symmetrical metal tubing on headboards and footboards.

Antique brass beds were constructed using hollow brass tubing drawn over iron cores or fitted with internal steel rods for structural strength. Joints were secured using heavy cast-iron corner dovetail brackets to attach the side iron rails securely to the corner posts.

Original pieces feature heavy cast-iron side rails with drop-in dovetail joints and original castors fitted to the base of the posts. Stamped maker marks from prominent manufacturers and heavy gauge metal construction rather than lightweight modern plating also indicate period authenticity.

A brass bedstead pairs efficiently with neutral linen bedding, layered wool throws, and dark painted walls to highlight the metallic finish. In contemporary bedrooms, combining period brass furniture with minimalist nightstands creates a balanced, eclectic aesthetic.

Unlacquered brass requires periodic polishing with a specialized metal cleaner to remove tarnish and restore lustre. To preserve an aged patina, gentle dusting with a soft microfibre cloth and applying a thin coat of clear microcrystalline wax protects the surface from moisture and oxidisation.
