How do I choose the right size?

Sizes range from single and double up to king and super king dimensions. Check your room proportions carefully against the listed dimensions before deciding. Take note of whether the frame includes side rails and a base, as some historic beds require custom mattress support solutions.

Are these beds suitable for daily use?

Many frames are sturdy enough for regular sleep, particularly those constructed from solid oak or ash with reinforced side rails. Consider whether a historic frame accommodates standard modern mattress sizes or if custom ordering is necessary for a comfortable fit.

How do I care for the upholstery?

Vacuum textile and fabric surfaces gently with a soft brush attachment to remove dust and prevent fibre degradation over time. Protect newly upholstered panels from direct sunlight to maintain the colour and integrity of the fabric.

What distinguishes Louis XV from Louis XVI styles?

Louis XV style pieces favour asymmetrical curved lines, cabriole legs, and flowing organic Rococo ornamentation. They offer a softer visual weight within a bedroom. Louis XVI style turns towards straight lines, geometric symmetry, and neoclassical motifs like fluting and columns, presenting a more formal architectural silhouette.
