An attractive cast iron antique bed finished in green with decorative castings, brass cap collars and spherical brass knobs.
A stunning example of Victorian craftsmanship, this UK king size bed combines ornate ironwork with the charm of polished brass accents. The frame is constructed from sturdy cast iron, painted in heritage green that highlights its intricate detailing, and the brass accents add warmth and contrasts the colour of the frame perfectly.
Dating back to the late 19th century, this authentic antique bed has been sympathetically restored to preserve its character while ensuring modern comfort. The generously sized frame accommodates a standard UK king size mattress (150cm x 200cm), making it a perfect centerpiece for both traditional and contemporary interiors.
This bed accepts a UK King Size (5ft or 150cm 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 either a Firm or a Sprung base in Black & White Ticking or Cream Damask. For a range of base choices please see our King Bed Base page.
You can also choose a mattress to fit from our King Mattresses.

There are multiple reasons why you should consider purchasing an antique bed rather than a modern equivalent. Also, there are many misconceptions over the quality of antique beds versus new ones. Here are ten reasons why you should choose an antique bed from Seventh Heaven:
- Exceptional Quality
The phrase “they don’t make them like they use to” is true of antique beds. These were originally made to last, and indeed they have survived many generations already. With proper care, they’ll last many more. - Character and Charm
Antique beds have a charm that modern beds can’t replicate. Even the best reproduction beds don’t have the same history and character as antique beds. - A Bed Like No Other
Antique beds are unique piece of furniture with their own character and style - no two beds are the exactly the same. Although many styles are replicated, each piece has its own history and charm, and your bed will be unique to you. - The Best Craftsmanship
The antique beds Seventh Heaven source and restore are of the highest quality. These beds were made in times when craftsmanship was valued, and the standard of workmanship often puts modern pieces of furniture to shame. - Sustainability and Recycling
If you are looking for a bed that is sustainable with the lowest carbon footprint, you can’t do better than an antique bed. Most of the energy and materials were consumed when creating the beds over 100 years ago, and it is far greener to recycle these antiques than source a new bed manufactured at the other side of the world. - Invest in Value
Antiques retain value over the years. Although the markets go up and down there will always be an investment in an antique bed. Whereas modern beds are often destined for the tip at the end of their life. - An Heirloom for the Generations
Rather than selling, many people choose to pass their antique bed to their sons and daughters, so these beautiful pieces of furniture can be enjoyed through the generations. - An Incomparable Restoration Service
At Seventh Heaven, we pride ourselves in providing the best restoration service in the business.

You don’t have to be cramped in an antique bed, and with the best Seventh Heaven mattress you won’t compromise on comfort. - Seventh Heaven Beds Don’t Rock or Squeak.
