How do I choose the right size?

Review the listed dimensions, noting whether the piece is a single, double, king, or super king size. Consider the bedroom proportions and whether you need a standard width or an extra wide format.

Are these beds easy to assemble?

Many nineteenth-century metal frames utilise standard iron side rails and wedge joints that slot together. Verify the joint mechanism and ensure all original side rails and bolts accompany the frame.

Can modern mattresses fit these frames?

Historical dimensions vary from modern standard mattress sizes, particularly on nineteenth-century single and three-quarter beds. Check the internal length and width measurements of the frame against your intended mattress size before purchase.

How do I care for brass and iron?

Dust metal surfaces regularly with a dry cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners that strip original finishes. Preserve painted metal and polished brass by keeping the frame in a stable, dry environment.
