Iron Beds

by Tara Peris

Wrought iron beds have long been known for their elegant yet durable designs. With delicate features and unsurpassed craftsmanship, these beds date back several centuries. Their appeal is timeless and they make for worthwhile investment pieces that can be passed down from generation to generation.

Wrought iron is distinct from other irons such as cast iron and steel because it is heated and formed by hand. Skilled blacksmiths labor over each frame for months, welding and shaping unique designs. The result is a real piece of art that is unlike any other. If you've ever been through a showroom, you can appreciate the true labor of love that goes into each and every piece. Hours of meticulous bending and molding give way to a fluid design that captures the eye instantly.

A Worthy Investment

For those who place a premium on craftsmanship, there is simply no substitute for a wrought iron bed. These beds are a bit more expensive than their cast iron counterparts, but they are worth every penny in the long run. A well-chosen piece will appreciate over time, more than earning its keep in your home.

The striking good looks of a wrought iron frame are hard to miss. Simultaneously bold yet understated, these frames stand out without overwhelming a room. They work well with virtually every decor from country florals to Victorian and Baroque designs. Choose wisely and your frame will see you through countless color schemes and decorating arrangements.
