How do I assemble these metal beds?

Most antique iron and brass bed frames utilise an integrated slot-in system where the side rails wedge securely into sockets on the headboard and footboard. Once the side irons are locked into position, they create a rigid rectangular platform that receives the mattress base without requiring complex modern tools.

Are modern mattresses compatible with these beds?

Standard modern mattress sizes frequently align with nineteenth-century dimensions such as double, king, and super king formats. However, checking the exact internal length and width between the side rails ensures a proper fit for contemporary slatted bases or modern mattresses.

How do I care for the brass and iron?

Painted iron surfaces benefit from gentle dusting and occasional cleaning with a dry or slightly damp cloth to preserve the finish. Exposed brass components can be maintained with appropriate metal cleaners if a bright shine is desired, or left with an aged patina.
