1852 French Château "Period Living" Iron Bed (4 Sizes).

WHY YOU WILL LOVE IT:  This "Period Living" bed captures the romantic charm of the French countryside with artisan elegance. Hand-forged spindles, finished with a bronze powder coat, rise in graceful rhythm, each one a testament to old-world craftsmanship. Whimsical iron spirals soften the structure with a playful flourish, while delicate natural brass finials and accents lend a touch of golden warmth. The château-inspired frame in Full, Queen, King, or California King is airy yet grounded, evoking both poetry and permanence.  

Lifetime Guarantee:  An heirloom in the making, this bed is guaranteed to last – not only for your lifetime, but for the lifetime of the one who inherits it.  Decorative iron beds are passed down through generations, they carry stories and memories.

Masterfully Built in America:  Each showpiece is crafted by a small team of American artisans, artfully forged iron work that captures the charm of the Irish countryside from where this design originated. It is entirely hand forged of solid iron bar with handcast adornments and brass accents – virtually indistinguishable from beds made a century ago.  

Easy to Assemble and Virtually Indestructible:  Each piece is crafted using century-old engineering techniques, most notably the friction-fit dovetail joint system – a masterstroke of simplicity and ingenuity that requires no screws, bolts, or hardware.  A simple slide and a tap of a hammer will have the bed upright in just a couple of minutes.

Historical Significance:  Iron beds have a rich and practical history dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries, when they emerged as a durable, elegant alternative to wooden frames.  These beds became especially fashionable in the French countryside and provincial estates as ironworking techniques advanced and ornate, hand-forged designs.  An iron bed carries a sense of nostalgia and permanence – its weight and presence anchoring a bedroom both physically and emotionally.

The 1852 Château Bed.

Somewhere between Bordeaux and the Atlantic, tucked behind a row of linden trees, there’s a château where the shutters are always half open and the breeze smells like lavender and old stone.

This is the bed that waited there.  Not grand in the Versailles sense—no gilded cherubs or velvet canopies. Just slender iron spindles, hand-forged by someone who didn’t hurry, curving upward like the notes of a forgotten chanson. Bronze-kissed and impossibly graceful. Spirals where there could’ve been corners. A line of brass finials catching candlelight like fireflies.

She read Colette in that bed. He sketched her there once—badly. There were fresh peaches on the nightstand. A rainstorm that came and went in the time it took to whisper bonne nuit.  There are beds you sleep in. And beds you remember.
