How many come up for sale each year?

About 101 reach the market annually on Sellingantiques, listed by 58 different dealers over the archive. That spread means the two dominant groups, iron-and-brass and French wooden, are both in steady supply, while canopied beds appear only a few times a year.

What does no end mean on an iron bed?

It means the bed has no foot end, or a foot end much lower than the head. The word "end" appears in around a tenth of titles, often as "no end bed". It is a recurring feature of the Victorian and Edwardian iron group rather than an alteration.

Are these all English?

No. French is the single most common origin word in the titles, ahead of any English label, and covers the caned, carved, painted and upholstered wooden frames. Irish beds appear a few dozen times, Italian rather less, and Portuguese and Spanish frames turn up repeatedly.

Which makers are named on these beds?

Names do appear in titles, but no firm is a settled presence in this category. Every name that surfaces comes from one or two dealers. Where a name is given, it is usually as an attribution rather than a mark, and frames sold with one sit disproportionately in the upper part of the range.

Do the French frames come reupholstered?

Often. A little over a tenth of titles state the bed has been newly upholstered, which makes recovering a routine step in how these wooden frames reach market. Upholstered is one of the four main finishes in the French group, alongside caned, carved and painted.

What are the widest frames listed?

The widest are described in metres rather than feet, one at 2m x 2m and another simply as 2 metres wide. Below those, 6ft super-king frames form about one in seven of the category, with plain 5ft king running through the middle.
