WHY YOU WILL LOVE IT:  The brass bed holds a storied place in American culture, symbolizing both elegance and endurance.  From Gilded Age mansions to rural farmhouses, it has stood as a mark of prosperity and craftsmanship – built to last, handed down through generations, and often the most cherished piece in a family home. Your gleaming brass frame in Full, Queen, King, or California King embodies both romantic nostalgia and the promise of 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.  Brass beds are passed down through generations, they carry stories and memories.

Masterfully Built in America:  Each brass masterpiece is crafted by a small team of American artisans with commanding 2 1/2-inch side posts, 2-inch spindles, and horizontal rails, blending crisp, straight lines with subtle ornamental flourishes.  A tribute to classic American design – bold, romantic, and enduring.  

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.

Traditional Polished and Lacquered Finish:  Generations have chosen brass not only for its timeless beauty, but for its quiet strength.  Unlike wood, brass is hygienic, resistant to pests, and easy to clean – prized in both grand estates and modest homes. Its warm, golden glow evokes luxury, while its strength ensures a lifetime of silent, stable sleep.

The Brass Bed.

She was married in 1902. A June wedding. The kind where hand fans fluttered in pews and lemon cakes waited on white linen in the orchard.  He carried her over the threshold, past the parlor with its rosewood settee, and into a room where sunlight poured across a polished brass bed.  It was the kind of bed people saved up for.  The kind passed from aunt to niece, father to son, with whispered instructions never to polish it too much. The kind of bed that didn’t creak or complain, that held secrets, lullabies, and sometimes an entire generation asleep beneath a patchwork quilt.

During the war, she wrote letters to him from that bed. During the blackout, she brought in the children and made it a boat on a dark sea. During the summer of '57, the fan spun slowly overhead while she read To Kill a Mockingbird cover to cover, twice.  People forget things: addresses, anniversaries, where they put the car keys. But no one forgets a brass bed like this.
