Unrestored Victorian Iron Beds
Generally made from relatively large dimensioned thick walled tubing, solid iron
scrollwork and finely-detailed castings, the Victorian iron bed is usually more
elaborate than most scroll beds in both the number of castings and in the detailing.
Evoking romance and elegance, floral design and elaborate scroll patterning defines
the Victorian design. Corner shoulders can be square but often are sensuously rounded.
Brass or bronze elements are often used for a draping effect and the overall impact
is one of opulence and luxury.
FH110
This is a spectacular Victorian full size bed. Very heavy and delicately detailed
solid cast feet rise up into a classic arch shape. The curved scrollwork enclosed in the
thick-wall tube frame ends in a tailored series of uprights and is accentuated with
substantial and elaborate castings. The antique white finish has character and patina
revealing the authenticity and history of a lovely iron bed.
FH96
Sweet double diamond Victorian iron bed. Lots of interior castings, smooth
top and in great shape. Missing the small finials at top but could be easily
replaced. Off white finish looks great as is or could be restored in another color.
