Stunning French Super King Brass and Iron Bed

1900 - 1920
For Sale by Bedsteads
Description

Absolutely gorgeous French bed with very nice brass details. The head end has two incredibly attractive brass ovals, with a delightful cross pattern on it, designed to look like brass mounts often seen on armoire corners. This hammer chased pattern and detailing is carried through the rest of the brass ornamentation, featuring on all of the rod ends, caps and finals/knobs. All of the brass is original, aside from the top rail.

Fully restored to be sturdy, practical and beautiful. Whole frame cleaned, restored and tested for durability. All joints checked for secure fit. Shot blasted and primed prior to hand paint finish in Little Greene’s Sage Green. Whole bed gently dark waxed over to protect and give a soft sheen and tonal variation. All of our beds can be re-painted in any colour of your choosing. Please contact us for more information/quotation.

FAQs

A French brass and iron bedstead is a metal bed frame popularised during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, constructed from a painted iron frame complemented by polished brass top rails, finials, and decorative metalwork.

These beds are typically constructed from wrought and cast iron for structural support, combined with tubular brass elements and cast brass decorative detailings such as finials and collar joints.

Authentic period bedsteads feature heavy cast-iron corner joints, threaded brass finials, original iron side rails, and hand-fitted decorative metal components rather than lightweight modern welded steel.

An antique metal bedstead pairs well with neutral linen bedding, layered textured throws, and soft wall tones to balance the structured iron frame within modern or rustic country interiors.

Dust the iron frame regularly using a soft, dry cloth and avoid abrasive chemicals on painted surfaces. Brass components should be polished gently with a suitable metal cleaner or left untreated to maintain natural oxidisation and patina.
