Description

An elegant antique Victorian Arts and Crafts brass single bed by Hoskins & Sewell of Birmingham and retailed by Thomas Justice & Sons Ltd Dundee dating from circa 1890.

FAQs

Popularised in the 19th century, Victorian brass beds feature tubular metal frames, turned decorative finials, and cast iron connectors designed for stability and hygiene.

These bedsteads were typically constructed using drawn brass tubing fitted over iron inner cores, assembled with cast iron corner joints and iron side rails.

Authentic pieces often display stamped maker marks on the cast iron joints, heavy gauge brass tubing, original brass castors, and dovetailed rail connections.

Pair the reflective metallic frame with crisp white cotton linen and neutral wall tones to create a balanced, contemporary English country aesthetic.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and polish unlacquered brass occasionally with a gentle metal cleaner, avoiding harsh abrasive chemicals that strip patination.
