How do I measure for a French bed?

French bed sizes often differ slightly from modern standard mattress dimensions. Check the internal rail lengths and widths carefully before purchasing bedding. Consider the height of the headboard and footboard relative to your ceiling clearance and bedroom layout, particularly for architectural canopy versions.

Are these beds easy to assemble?

Most antique wooden bed frames utilise traditional slot-in or bolt-together iron fixings between the headboard, footboard, and side rails. Having two people simplifies the alignment of the heavy timber components. Ensure you check the stability of the side rails and use appropriate modern wooden slat bases to support contemporary mattresses securely.

How do I care for antique oak?

Dust timber surfaces regularly with a soft, dry cloth to prevent the buildup of abrasive particles. Avoid placing wooden furniture near direct heat sources or strong sunlight to prevent warping and fading. Apply high-quality beeswax occasionally to nourish the grain and maintain the natural lustre of the finish without creating synthetic buildup.

What is a bleached oak finish?

Bleaching is a treatment applied to timber to lighten the natural dark tones of mature oak. This process accentuates the texture of the grain while offering a paler aesthetic. Many pieces undergo this treatment to suit contemporary interior schemes while preserving the historical integrity of the underlying carved wood.
