What sizes are available?

Frames span from single and double dimensions up to king, super king, and emperor sizes. Buyers should check specific internal mattress dimensions, as older European sizing standards can differ slightly from modern UK equivalents.

How do I care for the paint?

Clean surfaces gently with a dry or very slightly damp cloth without harsh chemical detergents. Avoid placing wooden furniture in direct sunlight or near heat sources to prevent the painted finish from cracking.

Are mattresses easy to fit?

Most antique and vintage frames accommodate standard modern mattress sizes with proper slat support. Internal rails and brackets can sometimes require minor adjustment to secure contemporary bases safely.

How do I identify the period?

Examine the construction methods, tool marks on the timber, and the style of the carved ornamentation. Stylistic cues such as neoclassical straight lines or rococo curves help align pieces with Victorian, Edwardian, or early twentieth-century eras.
