How do I choose the right size?

Measure your bedroom space carefully and check the specific dimensions listed for each frame. Sizes range from single beds and daybeds up to standard double, king, and super king proportions. Consider mattress compatibility, as older frames may require specific dimensions or modern custom support systems. Frame widths vary between narrow single configurations and wide Irish or Victorian king sizes.

Can these beds be disassembled?

Most iron and brass bedsteads separate into headboards, footboards, and side rails. This modular construction makes transport and relocation straightforward. Assembly typically involves robust iron bolts and wedges that lock the side rails firmly into the head and foot castings.

How do I clean the painted finish?

Dust surfaces gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove everyday accumulation. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that might damage the historic painted coating. For brass elements, use a mild metal polish applied sparingly to prevent contact with the surrounding painted iron.

What is a Celtic Revival bed?

This style incorporates traditional Celtic ornamentation and motifs into the ironwork and casting. Such designs gained popularity during the Victorian era. Pieces often originate from Irish workshops or regional makers favouring distinct Celtic patterning along the head and foot rails.
