Brass beds

BRASS BEDS

Antique brass beds were crafted in the Victorian Age, the reign of Queen Victoria,from 1837 to 1901. They first appeared in England in the 1820s and in America in 1850s. Antique beds, in contrast to modern reproductions, produced only single and double beds. Some four-poster beds were made; but more often bed frames were crafted with side wings to hang curtains.

The most expensive antique brass beds are in good condition, all brass and have ornate scrollwork and carvings. Poor-quality antiques can be valued as low as $1,000. Usually in bad condition, they often contain metals other than brass and have little ornamentation. If antique beds are reconfigured--the double bed is converted to queen size, for example--the value will decline. The value of good antiques is likely to increase.

Although genuine antiques are the most valuable brass beds, some problems exist. They may no longer be structurally sound. Beds that were lacquered need an enormous amount of polishing, because modern lacquers contain substances that retain polish. Antique brass beds were not made in popular queen and king sizes. Over their near 200 years of existence, the brass on some antique beds have been painted over and many are worn from polishing.

OVER ALL NOW THE BRASS BEDS ARE CATEGORISED  AS "COLLECTORS ITEMS" 
BUT STILL SOME OF THEM ARE USABLE CONDITION
