An antique cast iron four poster bed from the late Nineteenth Century, circa 1880. This magnificent piece of furniture was originally manufactured in the UK for export to North Africa. Seventh Heaven have recently acquired the bed from Tangier, Morocco and brought it back to our restoration workshops in Wales.
The ornate bed frame has been originally painted in red and gold. You have the option of retaining this aged finish, or you can choose for us to repaint the bed in a colour or paint effect of your choice. Please ask for further details.
The four tapered posts have decorative central brass features and are topped by brass finials. All the brass can be repolished if required.
The canopy, which is supported by the four tapered posts, is of a serpentine design and is crowned with a simple ring.
The bed will require a high ceilinged room to comfortably accommodate the canopy, but we can lower the bed if required - please enquire
This bed accepts a UK Super King (6ft, 72 in. or 180cm wide) base and mattress set.
You will need a bed base to support the mattress. Bed bases sit on the bedstead frame and can be either Firm or Sprung and come in different depths with a choice of covers.
You have the option here to select a Super King (6'0x6'6) Base, either Firm or Sprung, in Black & White Ticking or Cream Damask. For a range of base choices please see our Super King Bed Base Page.
You can also choose a mattress to fit from our Super King Mattresses.

This genuine antique bed has been faithfully and lovingly restored by Seventh Heaven. Our craftsmen are experts at renovating these beautiful pieces, converting them to be functional in the modern world, whilst carefully retaining their original charm and authenticity. Special attention is put to ensuring they are sturdy and structurally sound, so they can support even the heaviest of mattresses and will not rock or creak. We pride ourselves in our attention to detail and our quality control is second to none. You will appreciate the fact that you have bought a Seventh Heaven bed rather than one from a random dealer, eBay or indeed one of our competitors.
It is extremely rare to source wider antique beds, which is why we specialise in extending the original antique frames to king and super king sizes. Our workmanship is of the highest quality, and we have decades of experience in this field - you would never know that our craftsmen have altered them. The purists might complain that we are compromising the authenticity of the antique bed, but we are proud that we can adapt these beautiful pieces so they can be fully enjoyed in the modern sizes, and we are sure they will be treasured for generations to come. Besides, for those that prefer their antiques to be as untouched as possible, we can provide beds which have the lightest of restoration, and retain all their charm from the ages, warts and all.
