Antique Furniture Direct has dated this piece to the Victorian era.
This is a good quality all brass bed, a simple but elegant tubular brass design with curved top rails and stands on casters. Each corner is stamped with the Hoskins & Sewell logo, there is a badge on foot bar which reads “Patent H & S”. Also to the foot bar is the furnishers label of “Robb & son House Furnishers, Hexham”. It features a headboard, footboard and two side irons. Suitable for a large single mattress 107cm x 190cm. Does not come with mattress or base.
Measuring 107cm by 190cm, a wide single bed is the same length as a standard UK 3ft single bed, but 17cm wider, giving a slightly roomier sleep. These mattresses are available from some larger mattress suppliers as well as some online mattress suppliers.
