What sizes are available?

These beds span single, double, king, and super king dimensions to suit various room layouts. Single examples occasionally appear in matched pairs that can be joined together. Widths range from compact three-foot single frames up to generous king and super king proportions, accommodating standard modern mattresses with appropriate support.

How do I fit a modern mattress?

Most antique metal frames accommodate standard mattress sizes, though historical dimensions can occasionally vary slightly from modern manufacturing standards. Custom slats or modern base inserts are typically added to provide a flat, stable platform. Careful measurement of the internal length and width ensures proper alignment with modern bases. Side rails often accept wooden or metal support systems to bridge the original frame securely.

How do I care for the black finish?

Maintenance requires gentle dusting with a soft, dry cloth to protect the dark japanned or enamelled surface from moisture and abrasion. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that can dull the black coating or damage adjacent brass elements. Brass components can be polished lightly with a suitable metal cleaner if desired, taking care to shield the surrounding black iron finish from accidental splashes.

Are these beds easy to assemble?

Historical metal beds generally utilise wedge-lock or bolt-together joints that dismantle into separate headboards, footboards, and side rails for transport. Assembly requires basic hand tools or simply dropping locking pins into place depending on the specific foundry design. Having two people simplifies the assembly process, ensuring the side rails seat evenly into the corner brackets without stressing the cast metal joints.
